[quote=Anonymous][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]

So refreshing to see a parent on here with the same opinion as me! Our kids love hardy and we are very hopeful that Macarthur will be like Hardy. Right now it seems as though Macarthur is like Hardy was but before Principal Westover because I heard that there are a lot of fights and my older son went to hardy a year before principal westover and it was like that too.[/quote]
