Blackshear Elementary School

I have had a decent experience at the school, administration seems to have a good relationship with parents. The teachers I have come across have been mixed, but overall I feel my daughters are receiving a quality education.

My daughter had attended MacGregor since she was in kinder. Since those years I noticed many changes to the school like staff changes and the removal of a pto to allow parents to raise money and support the school and the students. I personally never had any issues with the teachers through the years but I heard from a few parents that they had a very different experiences. One time my daughter came home telling me that she saw her teacher cry when she wasn't helped with a student who was causing some behavior issue in the classroom. That concerning to me as a parent because the school should have our children safety first. This child apparently disrupting classroom materials and talking back to the teacher. Makes me think what the school staff or teacher did to handle that situation because I for sure dont want my child seeing this kind of behavior to be okay and acceptable when really children are their to safely learn and enjoy the school day. I also heard from someone that this shchool has inconsistent with teachers out every month and there are many new teachers which is disappointing because I wanted my child to be with a certain teacher that has taught there for many years only to hear that they no longer teach there. Like I said many new changes. so I made the change to switch my daughter to a different school last year in 2019 year and was a big difference. I hope there are better changes at the school because I originally was happy with MacGregor when my daughter first attended. School need improvement

Upon enrollment, I sent them an email asking about the program. Almost one week passed, I wouldn't get any reply if I didn't ask them again and include more people in the email. Although they told me Email is their FIRST form of communication.

The impact on my student has been incredible! They helped her to become more confident and she learned a lot about STEM and maritime careers. I recommend them most highly!
