9th grade kid is happy with most classes. No serious complaints other than the classes being too long. This would have happened at J-R too.

Nope. I posted that. Not only am I not McCray, I’m not even a MacArthur parent. Let’s say I know about the requests to transfer than come into Central Office.

All good experiences so far! We’re happy with communication, updated Aspen, and DD doesn’t have complaints.

Hoping they keep hiring well as they grow!

The AP works really well with the teachers.

Most are excellent. The biggest challenge is that it is freshman year, so there is less separation of the kids who are interested in learning and those who aren't. In my experience that was the same situation at JR and other public schools. As the year has gone on, there has been better class participation and increased comfort. Math and English have been truly spectacular and I am very pleased with both those, but no "bad" teachers as far as I can tell

How is it? Do you regret making the move from your previous school or are you loving it?
