Teacher quality

Parent involvement
My family has been part of the MacArthur community for many, many years, and we've never had anything but amazing experiences. However, this year is the first year that there is a rather "unwelcome" atmosphere. Faculty and staff are no longer fun and energetic as they usually are, and I believe its from the iron-fisted new principal, who has never been anything but cold and even rude. What a shame....but despite the negativity from the top, everyone else is still managing to keep MacArthur the great school that it's always been. Hats off to teachers, but principal, lighten up! School is supposed to be a positive, happy, welcoming place, not a prison!

Each school has their flaws, minor or major, no school can be absolutely perfect. I was a student at MacArthur for 5 months due to an evacuation in Egypt, and I graduated there as well. Even though I was there for a short time, I was able to make friends in a jiffy! Especially since they thought I was Egyptian... I guess you could say I come from a military family, so, if you're worried that your kid won't fit in, don't worry they will. And about bulling problems, I had been called names in Spanish ONCE, and my teacher took care of it. I must say though, Spanish name calling is a BIG problem there, especially to those who don't know how to speak Spanish, or who are not Hispanic. Including me.
I've read some of the other reviews, and honestly, it isn't as bad as you think. I may not be a parent, but I am a student at Macarthur. When bullying does occur, it's something small such as name-calling or something small that students could handle by ourselves but choose not to. I am a GT military student, you would think I would be picked on, but I'm not. I have friends, I am getting good grades, the teachers are nice for the most part. This website should allow students to voice their opinions about schools, not just parents who don't know what REALLY happens.
I am so frustrated about the problem with bullies at MacArthur! TEACHERS DON"T IGNORE THE PROBLEM, PUT A STOP TO IT!!! My son asked a teacher in the 7th grade for help when a student was kicking him, but the student continued kicking my son! WHY?????? Don't let kids taunt one another with vicious remarks in your classrooms, PUT A STOP TO IT!!! I don't want my son to be the next person making a, " IT GETS BETTER VIDEO" on youtube because teachers and the administration don't help the innocent victims! HELP!

I have had a student here for two years now. Overall, it has been OK. None of the schools here seem to come close to the schools on the East Coast. While my student did well in the GT program, I cannot imagine what would have happened if she was an average student. Teachers were wonderful. Never met the Principal but I did try. Office staff need some courses in communication. More strict enforcement needs to happen with the gang kids and problem children plus they do have a bullying problem, although they tend to brush it under the rug. I would rather my child attend this school than some of the other schools though. It is better than many in EPISD.

We are new to El Paso. I have three children in this school and have found the teachers to be excellent across the board. Unfortunately, the teachers do not have support of the principal, The school however is badly organized and that comes from the top. I agree with previous reviews that the principal is NOT on the ball. There is no set calendar as events are cancelled/ rescheduled frequently. the EPISD needs to know a ship is only as good as its captain, this ship is sinking:( There is no consistency here and lack of communication. If you are an involved parent that thrives on organization and proper, timely communication this is not the school for you without patience!

I am very sad to see how the staff treat the parents in this school. There is no professionalism in this staff and it sad because it reflects on the principal not being on top of the conduct of her employees. I think that the code of conduct that applies to the children should apply to the office staff more so. we all need to talk to them when we enter. and its hard to, because of how they are. please ms. ramirez, correct that problem, so that you don't seem as unapproachable as them.

We are a military family stationed here in El Paso. My daugther has a wonderful teacher but the rest of the staff that I have come in contact with is very rude. If you are hispanic you should have no problems at this school. I have been treated badly multiple times upon entering this school. Parents are not aloud to go anywhere in the school other than the office. The rules about their pick-up policy changes everytime I go there. My daughter, who is 7 has been forced to walk around the outside of the school multiple times alone because they were told they couldn't walk through the halls after school. I would not recommend this school to anyone!!! The principal, Ms. Ramirez, is very rude and unapproachable.

My daughter graduated this June 2009 from Mac Arthur. For me it was the best school compare to others. Good environment, good students. No gangs. Academic excellence. Principal and assistant principal make great team and they trying to discipline as hard as they can. Great School I highly recommended.

My child will grow, bloom, and excel-not excell at MacArthur. It is a safe school with a new drop-off-zone to open soon and camera installation taking place in halls...what else could a parent want? Small numbers of students makes it also a safe environment to learn.
—Submitted by a parent
I wouldn't recommend this school. Yes, there are some nice teachers, but if you want your child to achieve a bit more, academically as well as socially, this is not an option. You almost feel sorry to say something negative about MacArthur, but honestly, I don't know what positive to say about it either. The children have no chance to grow & bloom and excell here.
The safety of our students is what concerns me most as a parent of students at MacArthur. The crosswalks after school on Shaver street are either blocked by vehicles or very conjested. I've seen so many violations that I am amazed an accident has not occured. I am also amazed that a cop is usually several yards away patrolling another area when I think the smaller children's pathway's should be taken more seriously and be taken care of immediately. I hope this matter will be taken care of as soon as possible.

I'm a 7th grader at MacArthur Middle and its a cool school my friends are great and so are the teachers, but their uniform policy is to much inforced its a drag to be yelled at everyday just because we're not tucking in our shirts or something like that....but besides that everything else is great. Except all we do is review and review over the TAKS test and if we're reviewing it we're talking about it and its so boring to hear.
—Submitted by a student
I'm a seventh-grader currently going to this school and it's really... well.. ok. Here's the truth. The office staff is slow, disorganized, and hard to deal with. The uniforms are slammed into our faces too hard, (like they're our lifelines) and our entire year is spent reviewing and re-reviewing over and over for the TAKS tests at the end of the year. It's really stressful on both us and the teachers. Teachers are wonderful, and I love all of them. But the faculty? geez. I'm glad I'll be out of here soon.

MacArthur has an outstanding staff who truly care about their students. The teachers are always interested in new ways to teach and have high standards. Uniforms are wore and discipline is enforced. It is a good and safe school to send children to.

In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
The different student groups are identified by the Texas Education Agency; if there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.

Texas uses Accountability Ratings to indicate the overall performance of each school and district. The ratings are based on TAKS test results, dropout rates for grades 7 and 8 and school completion rates for grades 9 through 12. Schools and districts rated under standard accountability procedures are designated as Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable or Academically Unacceptable. Schools and districts rated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are designated as either AEA: Academically Acceptable or AEA: Academically Unacceptable.
