Teachers rush through lessons because of the noise level in classes. Students are left confused on how to complete the homework assignment. No all teachers but the newers ones need better training.

Constant reinforcement from other staff but not the Principal. Worried about the paint on the wall instead of the students whom attend the school.

Lack of leadership. Racial insecurities. Horrible welcoming into school.

The kids run around the school. No sense of organization or grasp on how to care for students with disabilities

The kid being bullied is typically ignored until they explode on the entire class. Teachers tell children to be friends and play nice but do not follow up. The kid being bullied continues to be bullied until they turn into the bullies. They call the police and then tells them the police will take you if you do not act correct. It does not work.

2019-2020 Was the worse year at Magnolia Elementary. No school activities that were promoted by PTA. No respect for students and their families. No respect for the teachers and staff. The principal needs racial sensitivity training and not be a principal. Well qualified individuals who would connect out community and make our children feel proud to be who they are.

Terrible experience with this school. My child hated going to school everyday. The teachers do not care. Very few teachers who actually enjoy their jobs and show initiative with the kids. The good teachers don't stay long. The principal Ms. Mason is lazy, rude and biased. They allow bullies to do what they want. All the kids who are bad get the attention while the other students have to deal with their behavior and never get recognized for anything good they do. The parents are extremely rude and ignorant. I'm so happy my child is out of that school. It was a complete nightmare.
