Magnolia Elementary School

I wish I could rate this school lower. Most teachers are great, but the rest is downhill from there. To start, kids have tablets- um excuse me? Do they even teach kids how to write their name anymore?! What happened to good old paper and pencil to work problems out? Communication is terrible, knowing what assignments are due- terrible, how to get to said assignments- terrible! Don't get me started about bullying- umm you need to fill out paperwork? You guessed it- in the form, on the computer because they don't want an email or a call to the school. IEP or 504, nope, you have to jump through hoops to even get the BARE MINIMUM. Im sorry, but we have delt with Park on and off for 3/4 years and it seems to be nothing but a headache. I really dont know how it got so many stars on the reviews.

This school is NOT diverse, very old fashion, and not tuned with today's world. No Asian teachers, one Black teacher, No Spanish teachers. Mainly all white staff. When I had an issue they spoke to me rude and condescending because I'm Spanish. I would do research before moving to this town. My kid hates this school and it's sad because he is only in Kindergarten. He really miss his old school he cries every morning to go back to his old school. My kid also love giving hugs and he was told to keep his hands to himself because Covid. He came home so sad he really lost his excitement for school.

I was in this school till i was in this till second grade and it was terrible! I was reading some reviews saying how good it is but trust me i was there and it wasn't trust me. Lets start with the teachers, they don't care for their students, my second grade teacher was just straight up rude I mean like come on! She would let her problems out on us and yell at us even when we did nothing wrong and my first grade teacher didn't really speak English!! AT this point the hire anybody who says the have a degree. Only my kindergarten teacher truly cared for her students. The food is horrible, I found a bone in my chicken sandwich and it was still frozen. Now about the students, they don't learn anything there i mean lets be honest i learned my times table when i was in the third grade your suppose to lean it when you'r in first. Please do not send your children here I beg you

I am a teacher myself and I am very disappointed with the treatment I received from Maureen! It is very hard to enroll your child in a school where you do not feel welcomed! Maureen was very rude and talked to her staff as if they were beneath her. I feel as though she even tried to belittle me. She made me uncomfortable by writing letters down and asking my child if she knew any of them when my child was coming the following Tuesday to take a test for entering the pre-k program. I asked several questions to get a better understanding of the program and she was very cut, dry and passive aggressive about answering them. The staff looked unhappy and as Maureen bickered with me, a concerned parent trying to pick a great school for her child to attend, they just looked down from embarrassment. I would not recommend anyone to put their child in a school where administration does not welcome the parent. Team work and communication is for the better for our children for a bright future!
