  • Hello parents and guardians. im a student at magnolia middle school and i say it's poor. i have a million reason why THIS SCHOOL IS SO BAD! first one is the teachers. they are really aggressive and dont care about students. at the beginning of this school year my mom wrote to my science teacher because the teacher and I had a problem. well i have ADHD and he responds saying, "No medicine can help your child." and a social studies teacher who just yells for no reason and over reacts and gets too carried away about stuff. she is so mean to students and staff. if you do one little thing wrong it's either a detention office referral behavior form or write in agenda. if you go up to the office and do one little thing like chewing gum you get suspended for three days! i have adhd and they know it but dont help me at all! only 1 good thing i can saY about this school, the gym teachers are the best! Parents or guardians, i recommend your child does NOT go to this bad school. thank you from a Magnolia middle school student

  • I wish I could say a lot of good about this school, but I can't.
    I don't think the teachers or the rest of the staff really care about the students, it's just a pay check to them.
    I have requested help from the current 8th grade (...) with problems my child has been having and he has yet to address the issue. I have gone to teachers for help and their attitudes were very uncaring to the point that they were rude, they don't care if your child passes or fails. I agree full heartedly with the student who posted that teachers showing favoritism. I wish I could afford to send my child to a private school, this leaves little to be desired.

  • I was a student and I had a great time there with my friends. Not all the kids there are good companions for your kids. If your child is at a higher level of learning I would not reccomend Magnolia Middle School.

  • My daughter attended Magnolia Middle School for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. She did what was expected of her and didn't get involved in all the gossip and the drama. She had a great time at Magnolia Middle and was very involved in a lot of activities throughout the years. She is now in 10th grade, and visits the Middle School regularly to keep in touch with teachers. Magnolia Middle School was a very positive experience for my daughter. My son will be starting this fall, and I only hope that is experience is positive as well.

  • Some of the teaches are racist and rude. They do nothing but complain and yell at the students. There are very few teachers who are good. The rules are infair and disrespectful. Students get yelled at for no reason most of the time and get blamed for the teachers wrong doing. Students are expected to know everyting before it's taught. I hate this school and can't wait to get out. Techers always pick favorites and give the least favorites Es and Ds. No matter how hard the student works. One of my teachers gave me and E on my paper when I got every answer right on a test and wrote "Why Bother" on my paper. another teacher was racist and failed me.
