The best part of my experience at Magnolia Science Academy 1 would probably be the teachers or staff members that would make me feel comfortable. Throughout the 3 going to 4 years being in this school I have met different teachers and staff members and each of my experience with them was different but most were helpful and memorable. The worst part of my experience would be the students and the way the staff or teachers handled them. Some students are just straight out disrespectful and cause a lot of commotion for the teacher for no reason. The teacher usually just calls staffs and they don't really don't do anything. I think teachers that go through this are also unappreciated especially since they have to go through stressful things like this. Something I would change would be better disciplinary when coming across students like these.

I love how small it is, you can really connect well with the teachers and students, everyone graduating 2020 is super friendly. I wish there was more understanding for students needs.

They work with you and your child to make sure they have all the help and resources at their disposal in order to succeed!

As a parent is an emotional roller coaster, to expect the teachers to care about your child's education as much as you do.
