[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people on here so invested in tearing down a public school they know nothing about. I’m very confused.

My kid’s Spanish is improving by leaps and bounds at MacFarland which is our #1 goal. Kid is in accelerated classes and loves their teachers.

And we’re thinking McKinley for HS but I do love your broad speculation. [/quote]

What are the accelerated classes at Macfarland? It’s not tearing the school down to want to ensure your kid gets appropriate instruction. [/quote]

+1.  The facts are the facts with the poor PARCC scores that is a valid concern.  I would not call that tearing the school down.  But to say that a school offers accelerated classes when kids can’t even work on grade level is misleading.  Posters are rightly questioning that.

It’s pretty obvious to me that there are lots of families posting here with kids in DCPS bilingual schools that feed to McFarland and are pretty defensive and angry about any negative comments at all.  I would argue you should also be questioning the above if you are considering McFarland.

Asking hard questions and for accountability is not tearing a school down.  [/quote]

Well you aren't really asking hard questions. You're asking questions that could be most accurately and objectively answered by someone at MacFarland. No anger here, just trying to help you out.[/quote]
