All "lottery seats" were matched with students attending Deal and Oyster. So the student body will be Hardy/Deal/Oyster almost exclusively.
Wait, why would that be? They aren't inbounds to MHS. Did they get a preference?

where did you hear this? in my neighborhood/catchment area it is the opposite; people can't wait to get out of the JR shitshow. only reservation is really the lack of bus.

What would be your ideal scenario? How will this answer impact your perception of this new district school intended to serve students who live in the district?

Guess what, so does the middle school my friends send their daughter to in Fairfax. So does the middle school I called to get a tour of in an affluent suburb on the west coast. This is not uncommon in middle school since children in middle school are in prime boundary pushing development mode. I bet it's even possible your little angel drew a penis on the wall at some point. This really says nothing about how MacArthur will evolve and what the culture of the school will be.
The administration (new principal) at Hardy has lost all control. It's a bummer that Principal Cooke left, I am sure he will have a positive impact of MacFarland.
The principal hired for MacArthur has many rave reviews. MacArthur also filled all its prioritized lottery slots so it won't just be Hardy students attending in the first few years.
What percentage of spots were prioritized lottery spots? I know in the initial talk, they wanted 50%.
Meant 50% OOB

Are you saying it's going to be a rough crowd? These are kids you're talking about. How mean. Also..same kids who go to JR. And their bathrooms are fine. Shame on you.

What does this have to do with the question?
She's talking about students at Hardy, who will make up most of the students at Macarthur, at least after the next two years.
However, the extreme bathroom routines may say more about incompetent admin than the students.
