[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like people have never been in the building but have a lot of assumptions about what is happening there. They have open houses, you should go. On their acceptance wall are the likes of Howard, Princeton, American, Penn State, Maryland, Minnesota, NC A&T, and SCAD just to name a few. Kids can be very successful at MacArthur. [/quote]

I'm not arguing any of those are bad schools, they are great schools. But those are comparable to Coolidge and this board would die before sending their kids to Coolidge. They've had Howard, Hopkins, Bucknell, Pitt, PSU, American, NCA&T, Spellman, Morehouse, Georgetown, the last two years.[/quote]

But, kids on this board do send their kids to Coolidge.  Both lists are good.[/quote]

Do they? I mean I agree both lists are good but despite Coolidge being one of it not the fastest growing schools in the city I have never seen it come up favorably on DCUM. Maybe occasionally the pre college program. I don't read the site a lot but a whole lot of the Coolidge conversation is how to get your kid out of that pipeline and MacArthur doesn't seem to have that same conversation nearly as much.[/quote]

People from less favored high schools don't tend to speak up a lot here because posters are super negative towards any high school parent who sends their kid to a school other than JR and possibly Walls.[/quote]
