Having a parent deployed can be difficult or any child, Arnold does not seem to know how to cope with children of deployed parents. While having a conference with a teacher I was told these are magnet students, more is expected of them. That is wonderful, all students need to be challenged, but this is not college and they still need guidance, displine and encouragement. There are a handful of wonderful teachers at this school, but not enough. Read less

We love Arnold. My daughter was in a magnet school for elementary.

With the teachers having the attitude that they are there to teach not just give out assignments my daughter has excelled in school. She absolutely loved Britt David and says Arnold is right up there with them. I would highly reccomend the magnet program to anyone wanting a challenging but fun school. They are always rewarding kids for good behavior and hard work. I have been on field trips, parties, etc. and can tell you these are some well behaved children. Read less
