Great school with engaged teachers! My son really loved it and they set him up for success before going to his next level STEM school at Crittenden!

My stepson attends Magruder and he has really benefited from his years at this school. He has received a lot of individual attention and seems to be progressing at or above grade level. I would recommend this school to a family looking for a good elementary school.
