Also, the band and orchestra are the best in the entire state, the scores are good though they took a dip last year, and my kids have loved going there over the last five years. Magee is a great place for kids! Read less

My child goes to this school, and she tells me everything that goes on at this school. This school is very poorly at disciplining. They do not allow hugging. Hugging is something friendly and shouldn't be restircted from a public area. Anything more, I could understand. But this school is cutting off

Magee is not committed to parental communication, with some teachers not responding to e mail at all, schedule changes without any parental involvement. There appears to be little commitment to brighter students as long as they meet the AIMS that's sufficient. My child has graduated this school rating
