Overall great school, wish it was a little bigger in size kind of a tight squeeze for as many students they have. Teachers are wonderful and really go the extra mile for their students.

Douglas MacArthur Girls Leadership Academy is a top notch school. The principal, assistant principal, teachers and staff are dedicated, hands on professionals! The parents are involved with activities and support the students, teachers and staff. There are exciting, fun, and educational field trips and activities. I believe this to be the best CMSD school. If you want your daughter to be a confident, caring, and intelligent leader, give her the opportunity to attend DMGLA!
