MacArthur Elementary School has been a wonderful place for my two children. Over the past four years, they have received challenging instruction from caring teachers in a safe and beautiful learning environment. The special education department is second to none. Close Quote

by a parent
Monday, March 19, 2012

The principal this year is unprofessional in her dealings with parents, students and teachers. She has shown favoritism among students with behavior issues and does not believe in acknowledging the accomplishments of the students who do well. The students with behavior issues are continually praised and given rewards if they just sit and do what they are supposed to do. The teachers have no say in these rewards, and are told they need to do what has been put in place by the administrators. Professionalism is not shown in this school this year. Close Quote
