Mcallen High School

I am a grandparents helping raise 4 grandchildren. While Mazo was principal the school ran like a tight knit ship in a hurricane. We would see Mazo every day. She would be welcoming kids every morning. Communication between school and parents was open and understood. When the new principal took over, Communication ceased or became less understood. In a year, we still havent seen the principal out and about and have no idea who she is.Latest communication thru DOJO was that students 5th to 8th grade were to bring their lunch in gallon zip lock, (no explanation why). When I took my 3 grandkids 2nd and 3rd grade, I was told they had to use zip locks not lunch boxes. It is not the 1st or 3rd time that communication has been messed up. I enjoy the school, it's small, kids love it. We ate switching because of the distance but the lack of or miscommunication is playing a big part in our decision

An amazing staff serving the students in the south McAllen community.

Leaders and teachers give promtp information to parent, using newsletter and class dojo

Great staff to work with and students appear eager to learn from teachers.

This school sucks I have four children there and none are treated like they matter!

The staff goes above and beyond to make this a safe and fun learning environment for all of the students at McAuliffe Elementary. The administrators are understanding, fair, and passionate about making sure that the students are learning.
