Bonnabel Magnet Academy High School

My son attended kindergarten at Bissonet and loved it. Every time I visited the school, it had a very positive atmosphere and all the kids seemed so respectful in the halls and happy. From my experience, the principal was great. When dropping off/picking up my son, I would always see her engaging in a positive way with students. They also organized nice family events for occasional evening activities (movie and popcorn night, STEM Night) (before COVID) and there was a great sense of community.

Firstly, other than a minor bump in the road with adjusting to the new teacher’s teaching & communication methods, this school & curriculum has provided a pleasant experience so far for my first grader. The principal is available for communication with the parents which is kindly appreciated and the staff at the car-pool line are very nice too. Also, I believe there is a decent amount of homework everyday (not an exaggerated overload) and it relates back to what the teachers covered in class that day/week. My child still needs my help in understanding all of the homework instructions but for the most part it is manageable. I felt compelled to add a more recent review for this school as I don’t think the school & teachers receive enough credit.

Great school I went to Green Park when I was younger in now my two boys go to Green Park. My youngest has autism and I am so impressed of how much he has learned. He went from not knowing how to read much to now reading me books in one school year. That was awesome! Which a BIG THANKS to Mrs.Cresson , Mrs.Queen. My oldest is doing wonderful too. Also a BIG THANKS to Mrs.Glaser, Mrs.Williams in Mrs.O’Flynn. The Growth I seen both of my boys is Awesome and couldn’t thank y'all enough.

The office staff is not professional. My first time having a conversation with the principal, she came at me loud and cutting me off with anything I had to say. Her excuse was that is she very busy and that’s why she didn’t answer email from a week ago. They didn’t waste no time suspending my child and telling me the day of but when I requested a meeting about it it I had to keep nudging about it until the principal came at me so aggressively because of what an office staff member told her. She didn’t even come at me appropriately to ask what the concern is. The only reason the situation didn’t escalate is because of myself. If I met her at the level she came at me we would not have resolved anything. I almost felt like they were doing it on purpose so my concerns would not be addressed. Very disappointed. There should be a system in place for everything.

I love this school. Teachers there care about your kids.

I go to the hybrid, but the school is AMAZING. It is clean, the teachers are so kind, take mental health seriously, take special needs with love, and have an amazing way of teaching. My sister (who goes to the real elementary) loves it. The kids are amazing, teachers are so sweet, extracurriculars are fun, and the way they learn is perfect.
