School Profile

HISTORY

Maclay School was founded in 1968 by a group of parents who wished to provide their children with educational resources that would enable each student to develop to the fullest-academically, morally, emotionally, and physically. Originally called Capital City Day School, the school was renamed in honor of Alfred Baramore Maclay, Jr., a World War II veteran who died of polio in 1953. Over the years, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Mettler, cousins of Alfred Maclay, generously donated the land upon which the school is situated, which was formally known as Andalusia Plantation. During Maclay’s first-year, a nine-member faculty taught grades 1-8. Each year following, one grade level was added until the first class graduated in 1973.

PHILOSOPHY

Maclay School supports it students in fulfilling their potential academically, emotionally, physically, and artistically. Maclay’s purposes are:

• to teach liberal arts creatively.

• to create a civilized community of learning guided by a dedicated faculty of superior qualifications.

• to provide patient and understanding ways to challenge each student.

• to engender, by teaching and example, self-discipline, hard work, integrity, and persistence at school and at home.

• to stimulate each student to inquire, learn, recognize obligations, develop self-respect, and understand others.

• to build a meaningful spirit among students, parents, faculty, and community by faithful fulfillment of the Maclay School Mission and Philosophy.

• to meet with wisdom and fortitude the future challenges of higher education, service to others, and life.

“Success” on an AP Exam is defined as an exam score of 3 or higher, which represents the score point that research finds predictive of college success and college graduation. These findings have held consistent across the decades. One example of such a study comes from the National Center for Educational Accountability, which found that an AP Exam score, and a score of 3 or higher in particular, is a strong predictor of a student’s ability to persist in college and earn a bachelor’s degree. The data in this report differs from other College Board reports, such as The AP Report to the Nation, which tracks exams taken by seniors throughout their high school career (cohort-based) and includes public school data only.
