Overall, Magnolia High School is not too bad of a school. You just show up everyday and do the same thing. The teachers for the most part are okay at best. They don't push you to be the best you can be. It is pretty hard to make friends as everyone just sticks with their established groups.

Going to school here has been very fun and looking back one of the things that I think definitely could have changed is the food. There were times when the school would run short and not everyone would get a chance to even get anything. Not only that, but the quality of the food was not good. Now moving away from that going to each class there was never a class that I didn't look forward to, but there were some teachers that would get on my nerves. As of right now, it has been so much fun and with the year just ending, I can't wait for my senior year to start.

I would like to say that this high school really does prepare it's students for the future, whether it's college or work. they have all the right resources to nurture a child from freshman year to their senior year. Every teacher there does care for their students so you won't worry about them not caring if they fail or not.

Horrible, teachers do not do their job. Safety procedures during lockdown are terrible, there has been 2 real level 3 lockdowns in one year and the teachers didn’t follow protocol. Teachers are rude and unprofessional. Horrible school!
