Seguin Elementary 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.

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

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.

My experience at Castaneda had been overall a great experience. The community is a nice place to be everything needed is close by.

I beg you please do not go to this school. once i left this school I was being called a fake christian by the teachers that if i left the school i don’t believe in God and the teachers will treat you so badly and make you feel like a bad person and guilt trip you. The EDUCATION sucks when i came to a public school i didn’t know anything because cca was teaching us 6 grade math in HIGHSCHOOL year, i was so behind. Honestly the worst experience ever. also i have so many stories about things they’ve done with me but it hurts me so bad i can’t even type it.
