Magowan Elementary School

The Preschool program at this school is one of the best I've have seen. The kids are engaged, excited and have a wonderful safe environment to learn and be supported. The school is always encouraging parents to participate in their kids learning with several events throughout the year. Very glad we were able to find a great public school that's super close and convenient.

I have had two children and five grandchildren go to Delanco. Two of my grandchildren currently attend. I was also a former student at Delanco school. We love that the school is in town and the children are able to safely walk there. The small town atmosphere enhances the district and the teachers are amazing! Another facet not often highlighted is the school is attached to a Public Library which in itself is fantastic. The librarians are so helpful and often provide after school activities and clubs that relate to space and legos and are very engaging! They also hold craft afternoons , have free computers and printing facilities, movies to borrow and even host historical evenings with guest speakers. This is something that should be shouted from the rooftops and highlighted as it is very unique attribute to have a public school directly connected to a such a wonderful resource. Delanco school and Delanco public library are fantastic assets to our community and small town! I do not think the library and school have been fairly represented on review forums. Many of the teachers and even the vice principal are former students of the district and are successful educators in their own right with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

I entered this school when I was in 6th grade. My mental health was healthy, I was happy and a normal 12 year old. Studies were harsh teachers were kind but the teachers for the more Islamic studies were harsh and wouldn’t take any reason for you not to do your homework. My mental health declined in 7th grade. I had severe depression and anxiety to the point I was thinking about killing myself. I used to be a straight a student in my old school but in IABC my grade went to Cs, Ds, and even Fs. The teachers would give you detention when you had bad grades or missed even one homework assignment. Days off for no reason, which was unnecessary with the heavy studies we had.
