Teachers here are not worry about the kids education. My kids struggle academicaly... always had trouble in every subject.
Posted by a community member on 9/2/2025MacArthur is truly a remarkable school despite being overlooked by the district. The teachers go above and beyond the call of duty and there is really a sense of community. I appreciate all of the dedication and hard work the staff put in to making my child's learning an enjoyable experience.
Posted by a parent on 8/28/2015I went to MacArthur from kindergarten to fifth grade and have very fond memories of that place. Great teachers, vast library, attentive staff, welcoming atmosphere.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter actually attended the southwest campus. This is a horrible school it is ran in a very unprofessional manner. I was chastised by the "superintendent" on several occasions as if I was not an adult. The reviews I read previous to my child going here were very accurate the teachers are treated poorly, my child attended through April there was three different teacher assistants and the teacher quit in the middle of the school year, and the parents were not notified. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! If zero stars was an option that's what I would give this school.Parent Review12y ago - Harris R P Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe principal is very rude, mean and not a people person. I can’t believe she even works with children. She needs to go!! How she handled the fifth grade graduation and not letting parents take pictures was very disappointing. I would never send my children there.Other Review2y ago - Pleasantville Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school years ago and the staff back then was awesome. I don't know what has happened to the school since then. I have 3 grand kids that attend this school. First off the staff is rude starting with the office, and the cafeteria staff. One of the Pre-K teacher's speaks very a harsh to the kids. If its up to me my Grand kids will not return to this school.Other Review8y ago - Port Houston Elementary School
