The Public school of MacArthur offers Dual Enrollment, my son is a freshman here, and he absolutely loves it. He has AP and honor classes and takes introduction to law as an elective. There is amazing teachers and staff and full security staff and law enforcement, which I know my son is safe when he is inside the school. There’s after many school programs to choose from and continue throughout the school year. I get a daily report to keep taps on my child report. I also get direct email contact with all the teachers and staff. Every student gets a tablet and it’s aimed for current tech era. There are many other programs offered only at this school since they are supported by Millikan University. My son comes home with a wealthy knowledge and always sharing things that he’s learning and excited to go back every morning. Definitely recommend this to any one looking for a great school with many career options.

As a parent I really like this school! The teachers show a genuine concern for the children's well being and education. We have a new Principal and he's shaken things up a bit in regards to parental involvement and a family atmosphere. Individual Education Programs are a blessing it means the teachers want to assure each child is learning at their needed level, much harder to teach this way. IEP's allow the teachers to break the students out of the cookie cutter stick to the book curriculum (for Gifted and educationally challenged students alike). My son loves this school!

The place seemed like a prison more than a school. You walk in & the place has dim depressing lighting. Then you're Immediately greeted by adult sized kids running wild; echoes can be heard of guards yelling at the top of their lungs with no effect; a frustrated front desk clerk. No one seems to be responsible for the kids in their care; the kids get away with dangerous activities & are bullied by their peers. This place need to be emptied out & condemned.
