[quote=Anonymous]MacArthur Staff Parent Here: My opinion may be biased but I have to jump in because the narrative some are trying to make up are simply not true. Yes I am an involved parent and on the PTO. We chose MHS because Wilson or JR was just too big for our kid. The staff is the most professional group of people my child has experienced in DCPS. The classes and curriculum meets the needs of my child. He is enrolled in several AP courses and seems to love the school. The school is transparent about what happens. There are fights at DuPont often and not just MacArthur HS students at time are involved. The kids know there is no police presence or supervision at these metro stations so they do what teenagers do with no supervision. There have been two incidents and the administration discussed them during the PTO meeting. It’s a new school. Flaws will exist until the school gets to full capacity. The school is safe. My son said most kids focus on the work because the classes are hard. But the teachers help. Is it perfect no? What school is? JR just had a gun confiscated last week. A number of schools had safety threats last week. If parents on this forum would spend more time helping our schools and advocating for what they need and not posting “what they heard” or videos without providing context of why these events even occur. I encourage parents who are interested attend a PTO meeting, take a tour or email the school. They are responsive. I am glad I chose MHS for my son. Continue to check on a forum, I hope this was helpful for some. Happy Saturday All![/quote]
