Magnolia Science Academy Bell is a great school with dedicated teachers and staff. My son has blossomed into a confident student since arriving at MSA. Staff is very supportive and welcoming to families as well. They do a great job keeping parents involved with school activities and the showcasing the types of things students are learning in school. I'm very happy to have found Magnolia Science Academy and will be enrolling my youngest son when he is old enough to attend.

Under a new principal, LS, the school no longer has a full staff of teacher. The school is run by subs who have no support from administrators. Fights broke out the beginning of the 2023 year. Students don’t feel safe.

The new Principal Laura Schluttman is awful. She did not protect my child and now he is scared to go to school.I was hoping this school niar my home would help my son but because he is shy, he was harrassed and bully and the new principalprotected the bully. THere is no discipline and the heavy set man in the office yells at the kids. I caught him screaming at my son.

The staff at Magnolia Science Academy- 8 is extremely dedicated and collaborative. As a teacher, I look forward to coming to school and seeing my students and colleagues. The positive environment really allows everyone to thrive. I am constantly striving to create better curriculum, because I love my students and want to do what is best for them. Teachers are respected as professionals here, and that is a rarity in today's educational sphere. This respect trickles down to our students, which is why we have strong rapport with our kids.We also have a lot of after school programs and events that are run by talented staff members, such as rock band, art (Mani Furbo), seasonal sports, spelling bee, talent show, etc. This school is on the rise, and is only going to get stronger My teammates and I are already brainstorming our ideas for next school year!!

MSA-8 is an amazing school. The teachers there are very educated, and they know what they are doing. I am a student here at MSA-8, and for the two years that I've been here, they have been the best 2 years of my life. MSA-8 not only has high standards on learning, but this school also has lots of afterschool activities, and clubs. MSA-8 is an amazing school!
