1/5/2025
MacArthur has been great at providing me with many opportunities. Because of this school, I will be graduating with an associates degree at the same time that I graduate high school. I have had great experiences with the teachers and overall academic integrity of the school. I just wish there was more school spirit.

MacArthur has a lot of opportunities like our tech programs. We have an amazing sports team it's just that there is a lot of drama. It can become a nuisance and I dislike being around my peers who are so drama affiliated. I take school seriously and for that I'd have to remove those 2 stars. Other than that I'm a proud general!

I liked that there were students of multiple races which I could interact with every day and I could learn about different experiences we all share.

As a parent of a freshman who has never had a child in high school before, I find the lack of information provided very disappointing. Coming from a middle school where parents felt welcomed and teachers were readil...
