About the condition of the school

You mean the fights that recently made the news? https://bethesdamagazine.com/2025/11/21/altercations-magruder-high-hold-status/

Pp here. Wow - nothing like this occurred when my kids were there. Do you know what grade levels were involved? It’s crazy that the altercations were unrelated, but occurred at the same time.

Your kid must have not attended when there was a school shooting on campus. Kids aren’t safe at this school. This is the second hold for fights breaking out throughout the building. Admin has zero control and refuses to take any accountability. Teachers are constantly being gaslit by the principal and they FED UP. Moral is in the gutter. My teacher friend says kids are scared especially 9th graders and many wish they had gone to a different hs. I know it’s hard to hear because your kid graduated from there, but this school is garbage now.

More reason to reinstate the school safety officers.

There was a petition floating around a year or so ago

There was supposed to be community engagement officers in each cluster after they removed SROs. Are CEOs still around?

Magruder has a very sordid past. This is from 2019, but it’s extremely troubling: https://wjla.com/news/local/magruder-hs-teacher-sex-female-student-classroom-wooded-park
I would move before sending my kids to this school.
