MacArthur is the new Walls

Most of the OOB is coming from JR feeder. Some from Oyster-Adams.

I don’t think so since the majority of OOB are black

What APs does the school offer?

I guess it’s like the public ivy crowd….

Fair question.

So the story is that higher income families that can’t get their kids into Walls will send them to the new white-side-of-town high school? That’s OP’s premise?

That seems unlikely given that MacArthur will qualify as a Title 1 school next year, indicating that at least 40% of students qualify for free or reduced price lunch.

We’re one of the families on the waitlist that is inbounds for J-R. Kid would prefer a smaller environment and met and liked the principal at the DCPS school fair last fall.

We are in NE but getting closer on the waitlist. How do people from across the city get there? I would definitely need my kid to take public transportation.

There's a bus from Gallery Place area that goes right there. Takes a while.

This. I recall someone said it’s 20% white and majority black 70-80% which in this town is a proxy for SES.

This school is too far out. The location is not a good one.

Where in NE. The D6 goes from Stadium/Armory pretty much straight to MacArthur (with a stop at Union Station and in Chinatown if your kid is coming from Brookland or elsewhere in NE). But it takes an hour from RFK, probably still about that if you take metro to grab it closer to downtown.

A lot of kids take it though. Even kids from NW take it after school to get to Georgetown or connect to metro or a bus heading uptown.

NP but that is a hike. No wonder tardiness is so bad in DC.
