The best part was the Special Education Unit and the English Department. The ninth grade academy is a mess along with that despicable Assistant Principal. He has no parental compassion and communication skills

Poorly. The parent PTO group, Powell Padres, is very high charging and successful in fundraising ventures, but lacks long-term goals, which means a lot of time, energy and money are wasted on things of very little educational value (ie, field trips to Wolf Trap). It seems the real goal then (or consequence for lack of educational vision) is to raise the esteem of certain highly powerful PTO members to influence levels that are beyond reproach.

Very bad in every way lots of bullying teachers biased unclean teachers yell at you for every little thing like throwing trash away no fun things to do here

I am the parent of an 8th grader at MacFarland and overall I have been pleased with my child's experience at the school. Yes, MacFarland has it's challenges like every other urban school across the country. But, the administrators, teachers and staff really do rise to the occasion in an effort to meet the kids where they are. I have seen the adults at MacFarland go the extra mile to help kids learn, grow and thrive. If your child can remain focused, pick their friends wisely and avail themselves of what is being offered, they can thrive.
