[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This school is too far out. The location is not a good one. [/quote]

It’s designed to be a neighborhood school, serving families who are in boundary for the elementary feeders to go to Hardy. There is talk among parents of a private transportation system, picking up in three different places, including Spring Valley, Cleveland Park, and your Stoddard.[/quote]

This. MacArthur is not a new citywide option. Its whole purpose is to absorb students who would otherwise have gone to J-R and fix the overcrowding. (There were a zillion Ward 3 engagement calls on the subject, and the options were a new HS, a new MS, or a 9th grade academy set-up, and they went with the first one.)

MacArthur feels like a citywide option right now because it's new and you can lottery in, but that may very well not be the case in a few years once Hardy students can no longer grandfather into J-R. My oldest is upper elementary, so I assume MacArthur will be a non-option by the time it's relevant to us.[/quote]
