Jo Mackey Magnet Elementary

"This place felt like a second home to me and when I got there the students and staff treated me with respect. I met very wonderful people and made lots of friends. I had fun and learned many things. This made me more caring, intelligent, and respectful. If it is to be it is up to me. I can learn. I will learn at Jo Mackey School the dream is alive."

"There are good teachers here then there are some who just go to work to get their paycheck. My son has been struggling and basically doesn't understand the work and yes my husband and I work with him talk to him every day and still no progress, I feel like everything my son do its a problem if he talk he gets sent home an inappropriate note but yet no one can find the little boy who's hitting my son and running off I've came to the conclusion just to pull him out and let him go to a school where he's getting help and not just sitting at school not understanding and getting in trouble for not completing work."

"I must compliment the staff, especially Elvia in the front office, and my child's teacher, Mrs. Herrera. They are very helpful and professional. It's so hard to find academic professionals who actually take their own careers seriously. No bullying. Safe environment. Happy children. Kudos to the wonderful people at Jo Mackey who make it happen every day! My family is grateful for y'all!"

"This staff is great but the principal is terrible. She yells and kids and at her own staff. I had to take my kids out of this school and I put them into a public school that is way better then them. Parents make sure you look out for your kids because if the child is struggling the some of the teachers will still give the child an A and will not let the parent know. This happened to me and my Family and we are a hands on parents. If you stand up to the principal she will be surprised especially if you don't go ghetto and act like you got some sense. She doesn't know how to deal with a parent that has manners but doesn't her B.S."
