[quote=Anonymous]Just came to see that we are on year 4 at MacFarland (two kids) and we've been quite happy. It's far from perfect, and there are some dynamics that can be intense (but I think that's the case at any DC middle school, if not any middle school most anywhere). I will say that the educators have been extraordinary -- talented, skilled and loving -- and we've been very happy with our kids' experiences, both academic and social/emotional. The family community is also becoming more cohesive -- there's a PTO that is growing and becoming more official this year, with more events to connect and bring in families and neighbours and feeder school kids, etc. Anyway, I really encourage anyone considering it to 1) go visit the school in person, 2) talk to families who have actually been enrolled recently and 3) not give much weight to test scores, for so many reasons that others have detailed. Hope that is helpful to some who come look here for input.[/quote]
