[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a rising 10th grader: yes, school name is changing and the students voted on what they want the name to be. It hasn’t been announced yet.

AP classes: MacArthur hosted an AP Base Camp yesterday for 10th graders. Our kid said it was helpful to meet with the teachers so that they could get mentally prepared for the work load.

Commute: some kids commute over 90 minutes each way on public transit so that they can have AP classes and a more academically focused school environment. That is actually one of the good things about DCPS/charter system. It gives families and students public, accessible options if their in-bound school does not meet a student’s needs.

No school is perfect, public or private. As parents, I hope we all want to make it the best experience possible for the kids so they can develop into curious, hardworking , smart and compassionate adults.

Fun fact: Warren Buffett is a product of DCPS. He went to Woodrow Wilson H.S. (now known as Jackson Reed)
