[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who Can Attend MacArthur

In-Boundary Students: MacArthur is the in-boundary neighborhood school for all students living in the Hardy Middle School boundary and is the destination high school for all students attending Hardy or one of Hardy’s feeder elementary schools.  Students currently attending Hardy or those who live in-boundary will have a guaranteed right to attend MacArthur and can directly enroll beginning March 31, 2023. A My School DC application is not required. To find your in-boundary school, visit enrolldcps.dc.gov/node/41.

Other Ward 3 Students: MacArthur is interested in enrolling current students from Deal MS, Oyster-Adams EC, and Jackson-Reed HS (9th grade) to help alleviate overcrowding pressures at Jackson-Reed. Interested students will automatically receive a transfer preference through the lottery. For more information about the transfer preference, visit myschooldc.org/faq/key-terms#faq-Transfer-preference.

District-Wide Students: All are welcome to apply! Students who do not attend Hardy MS or live outside of the MacArthur boundary can apply through the My School DC Lottery. Submit your high school application online at https://apply.myschooldc.dc.gov by February 1, 2023. For more information about applying to high school, visit myschooldc.org/how-apply/applying-high-school.

If they want OA students they should offer more robust Spanish classes or an entire Spanish track.[/quote]

I think that’s really unlikely.  After OA, my son had to take Spanish 4 at Wilson (with no option to test out), then AP Spanish Lang, then AP Spanish Lit.

Spanish 4 and AP Lang were a total waste for a kid who did K-8 immersion.

Lit was a good class,  and the teacher was wonderful and very tough on the immersion kids and  native speakers in the class - she taught it as a literature class, not a language class.

JR has since back off the absurd requirement of a wasted year in Spanish 4, but that just means OA kids run out of classes after sophomore year rather than junior year.  [/quote]
