MacArthur School

MacArthur Elementary School is rich with cultural diversity and the children take much pride in that aspect.

This school wasted 4 years of my kid's life but she sure could paste and cut when she gradeated and she could do fourth grade work real real good by the time she left. Not a good school for kids who want to be at least average. Great if your kid is not too motivated. She won't feel pushed or pressured. Some great teachers but awful system. Just awful.

'2/5 stars' sums it up. Kids arrive eager to learn in k. The district curriculum holds them back year after year. My kids were so bored by a curriculum that kept students years behind grade level. Dedicated, talented teachers, devoted parents and a lousy administration at the district level. They make terrible choices by buying and implementing terrible programs. They used to wait to almost 2nd grade to begin reading. Kids who were reading at home were stuck re-learning and re-learning their letters. Requests to teach them younger were denied. Then they adopted some program that starts kids earlier but the kids read by themselves for hours during school-instead of being instructed. They can read at home. Even families in poverty can get books. Please go back to instruction and other topics besides reading. Not a good choice for families who value education.
