This school is a hidden gem in Bahama. Mangum was able to challenge my AIG daughter and she loved the art options offered. My other daughter is a struggling learner and Mangum has the best EC teachers around. This schools is successful because everyone here is family. I highly recommend Mangum Elementary.

The Math and English departments were disappointing during my time there. Teachers often focused more on building friendships with students rather than prioritizing vital learning, which left many of us unprepared. Administration seemed to prioritize students who skipped frequently and the so-called “good” kids, while those who fell in the middle often went overlooked. Around 75% of the time, I either had nothing to do or was listening to teachers talk about their hobbies instead of teaching.On a positive note, Counselor Nix was impeccable and always supportive. I didn’t interact much with the other counselors, so I can’t give reviews on them. Overall, if you can, I’d recommend you send your child to a school that can actually teach your child proper study methods. Alum ‘24
