[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an idea who 17:32 is and can’t believe they are still at MacFarland; our kids attended elementary school together until we left after 3rd grade. Their child is really bright and I’m surprised they are sticking it out for whatever reason. [/quote]

I'd like to congratulate this poster for the extreme absurdity.  MacFarland has 7 feeder elementary schools (arguably 9 if you count all dual language programs). Over 600 students attend.  It's the second largest middle school in DCPS. You know who that poster is, right, lol.

Also, all the posters who keep asking "but your plan for HS is test-in or private, right?!?!" like it's an indictment on their choice for middle school, again, lol. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't, but posters whose kids currently attend MacFarland can still respond with their families' lived experiences and be helpful to OP.

Multiple people with kids currently attending have responded.  They've overall said things are ok, but not without challenges.  It seems pretty similar to other public option in DC for middle school, which seems like what OP was asking.

Other potentially useful info: the principal is new this SY.  He came from Hardy.  There are rumors that he is recruiting staff from Hardy to move to MacFarland next year. He is not perfect, but communicative and very engaged.
