[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Loving MacArthur — teachers and administrators are amazing. Yes not a big white population but that’s fine. Who cares?  I can’t praise the school enough and DC comes from a well regarded private school in DC. [b]The attention we’re getting rivals any private school.[/b] And classes are small and teachers care. [/quote]

Can you talk a bit more about the attention at MacArthur? My kid is at a small private school and is terribly unhappy due to the lack of friendships, so we're curious about MacArthur. He's a smart kid but does need to know that he's being [i]noticed[/i] before he's compelled to do his best. And huge benefit of private is that all the teachers know and support him. And DH or I walk in the school doors, they know us, too; that also matters IMO.[/quote]

My son is a 10th grader. Attention and small school was the reason we chose MacArthur (we are inbound, but slightly closer to JR). His teachers are incredibly helpful and constantly provide him with opportunities to lead, create clubs/sports, and otherwise do the things we associate with high school. His principal and AP are responsive and solve problems quickly. HS is never perfect, but our experience has been nothing but positive. [/quote]

agreed, I have a 9th grader. very personal school -- last week my kid went to nurse for a headache and not only did they call me, but they let my child talk to me! everyone knows everyone it seems. (we also were IB for Wilson and chose MacArthur despite the drive). teachers seem all super nice and engaged, according to my child. I will say making friends has been tough at the start, maybe due to lack of clubs, but at 3 week mark my kid has other kids to sit with at lunch and hang out with at school. we are very pleased.[/quote]
