[quote=Anonymous]We’re an in-boundary Hardy family, with a high performing child. We’re going to give MacArthur a try next year for a few reasons. One - it is convenient (we live in Georgetown). Two - our kid has really liked Hardy and, given the high number of kids that went to MacArthur from Hardy this past year, it seems there is a good chance that MacArthur will be a continuation of the Hardy experience. Three - the AP class offerings appear pretty solid. Four - we want to help build a neighbourhood HS. We’ve been pleased with Hardy; to have a HS equivalent would be pretty awesome.

Sure, there are some elements that we are not ecstatic about (no French and ongoing construction). But, all in all, we have a good feeling about it, are impressed with the principal/leadership team, and are going to give it a chance.

(As for the angst over scores that some have expressed on this thread, I honestly am not particularly concerned. This is the first year that Hardy students have had MacArthur as their only by-right HS option … it stands to reason that as Hardy students attend in increasing numbers, the scores will rise too. I would prefer them to be higher, but I am comfortable with the reality that they will trend upward as Hardy students increasingly attend.)[/quote]
