Douglas MacArthur Fundamental Intermediate School Reviews

 
My two sons have been on the Fundamental system since 1st grade. I can't say the love it, but a child that loves school is rare nowadays. In regards to the skills, the Fundamental system, in my opinion is great! I read all the previous comments and some of them said that it was stressful, and I do agree! However, the stress it's worth it as the kids start showing results. I also read something about McFadden Middle school and although it is a fine school, I would not even think about sending my kids there to be average. I want them to excel and be the best they can and I think the fundamental system will, at least with my kids, accomplish that.

At a JR High level, a school is what the child is prepared to get out of it. I have a daughter who challenges herself daily. She excels at this school. I have another one who would never survive the rules that bind him. He is to compulsive. It is not for all kids...and parents.. Now for Sports... all sports have been pulled from Jr. High level.

3 kids went through this school and Greenville, they totally burned out, grades droped, overloaded with home work, thank god they were able to transfer to normal high schools, not plagued with over crowding. Thank God, we are out of these two high stress schools.

MacArthur fundamental intermediate school is a great school.This school focuses more on academics.This school has been a distinguished school for a very long time.MacArthur has a great slogan:Spirit,Pride,And Achievment.This school has a lot of kids have so much fun but also make them try to be successful.This school has many great teachers and very supportive teachers.Here at this school is the best choir and band players.This school involves a lot of parent involvement.Parents need to be involved to make their child/children have a better future than they did.That is why I rate this school the number 1 junior high.That's why I hope you do too.

I consider MacArthur to be one of the worst schools I have ever had involvement with. They appear to care nothing for the ability of the child but focus only on organizational skills. An average grade student in most classes and an A math student became an almost straight F student while attending there for 1/2 of the year. But when transferred to McFadden Intermediate in Santa Ana became an average student in most classes and became an honors math student. Regardless of talking to the teachers, counselor, and principle organizational skill were all that mattered to them.

Mac Arthur is a wonderfully challenging school in the field of academics. All of Mac's extra curricular activities are well supported and challenging for those students who look for challenge. The current Mac Arthur program has above average band and choir classes, but I regret to inform you that their current strings orchestra has had to combine the intermediate and advance class for an unsavory result. All parents at Macarthur though are very informed and are constantly involved with fundraisers and parent meetings. In conclusion Mac Arthur fundamental is an outstanding and amazing learning environment for a child, but very demanding in the sense that its standards for success are high.

Douglas MacArthur was such a great school that it helped my cousins get through high school so easily, this school prepared them and every single class that they had we all too easy for them. I am about to become a freshman in high school too and I just feel so ready for high school that thanks to Santa Ana's Douglas MacArthur Intermediate Fundemental school I am able to step forward towards high school with my chin held high. This school has the best teachers , counselors and pincipals than any other student could've asked for. I had troubles in math, but my seventh grade math teacher, Ms. Trax was so wonderful at teaching me and the other students pre-algebra that she actually made us feel that math isn't that hard when you believe there is an answer to every problem. She actually made math as if it's a game.
