I am a parent of two MSA2 students and I am very grateful to this school because I have seen the academic improvement in my seventh and ninth graders, they are happy to belong to a community school and in my 2 year experience at MSA2. I am very satisfied with the open and friendly communication with the faculty and staff. I recommend and invite you to visit the school and enroll your children and be part of MSA2

Very terrible school, some teachers don't have their credentials and are leaving because of the lack of support from administration.

To the people thinking they should attend MSA2 however, it was a nice experience in making friends. Teachers are nice. BUT! Not all the teacher were educating students I remember in 8th grade my math teacher barely taught us he said to look up the answer behind the math book, however, the sports arent very good. Yes, they have won games but they arent this school isnt known for their good sports. I also remember during 7th first semester student bullied me and so did my friend it was honestly an annoying experience some one of the bullies changed and the other became nice and the other left to another school. Overall, this school is good for 6-8 but I dont think there are many opportunities for high schoolers.

Would not recommend school, horrible courses provided and very little opportunities provided to open up your future. Students basically run the whole school and teachers be leaving left and right due to how bad MSA has recently become. And it's a hit or miss that rumors will be spread about you. Overall horrible experience, horrible students, and horrible administration.

MSA2 care about the welfare of the students and the school community. It has a positive culture and supports the academic needs of all students, including the students' social and emotional learning. The school has effective and caring teachers, the administrations has strong leadership and open channel of communication with the parents and the students are respectful, attentive and dependable. If you want your children to get high quality education through strong curriculum and wholistic approach to the students' and to the school community's needs, I highly recommend MSA2. This school is the best school on earth! The teachers, students, and staff are amazing!!

I'm a student and this is one of the best schools ever! I love that class sizes which range from 15-25 people. The principal is very nice and does his best to keep the school at its best. The teachers are incredibly friendly and they really try their best to help you when your need it. This year I'm taking 3 AP classes and the teachers are amazing at really making you understand the material. I've been going to this school for 5 years! And I love it

This school is the best school on earth! I go there and the teachers, students, friends, and staff are incredible!! I am just not satisfied with the new principle that came this year. The old one was much better!

My daughter is in 8 grade at Magnolia she loves the school for the first time she is having amazing grades and she loves all her teachers! she is an IEP student and she gets all the help she needs from the special aid teacher who was an IEP child herself so she totally understands how to approach students that learn differently! i am very happy with the school so far, the classes are not crowded with kids it's a small MS and i like that a lot! we do not leave around the school we have to carpool with another family to get to school (about 25 minutes drive) but it's worth it! for the first time since Elementary school my child feels loved and important and smart she is academically succeeding and her self esteem went up! this is our 3rd Middle school! yes i will recommend this school for all children!

To have teachers who are not fluent in English is not my idea of a good school, Math and Science need to be taught and explained. Several parents have already complained about it and we are not seeing results.
