The school is very weak academically you can see the results in the STAAR test. Your child will never be challenged the staff is very rude and never welcoming they couldn't careless about our children. I highly encourage you to tour the school before enrolling, the school is located in a very rough and poor neighborhood, most of us have no opportunity to move out and if you don't get a spot in the magnet lottery to attend another school you are without options. The PALS program from children with special needs is really bad both teacher and aids are not caring and always act like our children are a big burden for them. I would never recommend this school to anyone looking for a good education.

Best and wonderful Elementary School ever in H.I.S.D. I went there through Pre-k throught the fifth grade. And now I am a senior! Never will forget how incredibly amazing McNamara Elementary School is. Leadership and staff members are great! Excellent learning facilities! And has various involvements. And most of all, McNamara has the best teachers!! :) I would love to go back and teach there someday! Never will forget my years there!
