Read what parents are saying about Magnolia Springs Baptist AcademyOk so a few years back this school was the absolute WORST when it came to everything. I am a former student and I can't tell you the hell that has been left on my psyche. Their Bible 'studies', if you can even call them that are absolutely atrocious. Only send your child here if you don't want them to think freely and only go by what the teachers say. They will teach your child to live in fear and ridicule every thing about them if they don't play by their horrible emotionally abusive rules. I actually had a teacher tell my parents that I was never going to graduate and instead of being willing to help me through whatever issues I was going through she simply gave up. This teacher has had several issues with children in the past and I urge you to do any background digging on your own. This school is also a huge money pit. Every single turn they are asking for more and more money yet none will go towards bettering the school and your child's experience. I am not too sure where they do throw their money but I am safe to assume it's literally anywhere but in the interest of bettering their education. The high school shutting down was the only smart move they made because I was able to escape the hell and go to a far better school who helped me work through my issues and I was able to graduate Valedictorian. Maybe they have changed over the years, but honestly their past is too heinous to forgive. If you are considering sending your child here I beg you to at least do some research on the school and its teachers. I may come off as angry and bitter but I have tried forgive and look back on what I myself could have done different to make my experience better, but for a school that shouldn't be the case. I have tried to move past all this and I have to a point, but I worry for the future children who are attending who may be going through the same thing I and my old classmates have. It may have gotten better recently, I can't say for sure, but like I said, I do urge you to do research on this place, meet with the teachers and if you can, ask other students how they feel about the school. I thank you for reading this and hope whoever does has the best of luck with choosing a decent school for your child.
Posted by a community member on 3/13/2019The " learning center" (the infant and toddler day care) at this school is now closed. It was a horrible day care facility. I can't tell you how distressed I was when I observed what was going on at this facility. It was a warehouse and a jail for toddlers and two-year-olds. The teachers would swat the kids with fly swatters, they "thwacked" the kids in the head with their index fingers and thumbs. The day care teachers scared the kids into staying at their tables all day. These lazy women made the kids sit at tables watching TV since they didn't want the toys to get "messed up". Some of the women would lock toddlers into their high chair seats so they could get on their phones or so they could sit and read magazines. No one had an education in early childhood studies. These women were all former fast food workers and hotel maids. I'm wondering how many young children were permanently traumatized by the cruel treatment they received at the hands of those autocratic, punitive, and harshly negative day care workers.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis was a great school for my daughter when she started Kindergarten, Her teacher was very helpful as she adjusted to not being used to leaving me to go to school. She learned very quickly and I must say this school would be the only reason why i moved back to this area of town. Teachers are great and Staff is VERY AWESOME!!Parent Review9y ago - Mary W Burroughs Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter's love their school. They come home excited to talk about their day and are so eager to share with me all the new things they have learned. We like to compare what learning techniques are used on their classroom vs when I went to school. I can say it is a lot different, but it sounds so fun. Every teacher there remembers their previous students/ students families and that is really nice to know your always seeing known faces. It's comforting as a parent because it to me helps with keeping the school safe and makes for a comfortable environment for the students. Parent participation is always welcomed and encouraged.Parent Review1y ago - Calvary Christian School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCalvary Christian School is a wonderful school that provides a loving, Christ based environment for learning. The teachers are awesome. I can't really rate the principal since there was little to no interaction with her. But, my son thought she was great... I would recommend Calvary Christian School.Parent Review9y ago - St. Vincent De Paul School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is wonderful! It is small, and that is what makes it great. The curriculum is the same as the rest of the Archdiocese...and check out the latest on their website www.svsSchool.org they are the only school in Mobile to be invited to the White House for their robotics accomplishments! Also least expensive Catholic School here!Parent Review11y ago - Word of Life Academy
