Posted by a parent on 6/16/2026Magnolia used to be a great school. But unfortunately they have succeeded in creating confusion in my son's head, affecting his self-confidence. Some of the teachers seem to have no idea of pedagogy.
Posted by a community member on 5/21/2021Magnolia Elementary is a great school! We had two daughters there this year--one in first grade, the other in sixth grade. The best thing about the school in my opinion is its principal Dr. Gillens. From the personal tour she gave us the year before my daughters enrolled (they had been attending a C

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe principal Ms. Schickner is always there greeting students and parents every morning, to me this means a lot. I feel welcomed and happy to leave my daughter in a place that feels like home. My daughter has learned so much in just a few months. The people working at this school are student focused.Parent Review10y ago - Catherine T. Reed Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is autistic and just had his 1st year here. He is going into 1st grade. He did PK3 & PK4 at 2 other schools before this. In PK3 he was in a special ed class. In PK4 he was in an inclusive classroom, but it wasn't well resourced. Now that he's at Lamont, he has teachers who love him, resources from the school, parents who show up for events & support when things need to get done. He has an IEP and at his meeting there were so many staff there for support, it felt like they actually cared about our child, which isn't what we've experienced st the other schools. I'm happy my other son will be starting here this year. Pleasant surprise!Parent Review11mo ago - Robert Goddard Montessori

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children learned a lot from their early education teachers. This school does not welcome/embrace families!!! Many teachers are not montessori certified, are unprofessional. lack care for their students and have poor classroom control. Teachers/Staff support themselves. Some teachers are rude to students. The school building is shared with another school on campus so RGS are forced to share their space. The principal hand picks her staff. Children and parents are not taken seriously. There is a very strong sense of control once parents/families step into their school. Yet, their child attends the school! Sadly, this school is NOT what it is all hipped up to be. This is a way for the county to show they are providing equal education to all under an umbrella who is truly disfuncional. The PTA is involved and do their best for the students. If parents or staff try to speak up there seems to be a bullying type of action taken against those who report unfairness, complaints and/or concerns.Parent Review2y ago - Goddard Child Development Center
