Great school in an awesome location very close to the military post.

This school has a lot to offer but with the administration, mainly the principal and the teachers who have their hands tied because of said principal and policies in regards to special education children. Some of these children have behavioral "differences" that are very violent in nature and that poses a risk to my children and to others as well as the teachers being hurt. It has been brought to the attention of the principal Mrs Magwood but she doesn't do anything. Get rid of the principal, punish or move the behavior issues whether they have a spec. need or not, then maybe the school would have a hope to become something great.

Please do not send your children here if you can help it. The administration is lax (Good luck trying to bring any issues to them. They'll more than likely brush it aside and not take it seriously) and the number of behavior problems among the students here are insurmountable.

Horrible, my kids never could never adjust to the way the kids behave and the approach to solve the issues that are there.

My child attends ECMA and I cannot wait until this school year is over. The staff are not the most professional people in appearance or in communicating with you. There are a few teachers who are genuinely interested in the children's learning. However, for the most part, the teachers are merely in motion. Since Tamura Magwood has taken over as principal, the disciplinary problems are enumerable and there seems to be no resolution in sight. I am interested to see how the children faired on the GMAS this year. Something tells me the results will be unfavorable.

My child will be attending this school in the fall and I'm super excited for her! The principle Mr.Scott is the best! I look forward to this new beginning for my lovely daughter.

East Columbus Magnet Academy is the best kept secret in Columbus, Georgia. My son and daughter have just left to go to high school. The teachers are great. They worked with my children to make sure they were successful. Mr. Scott, the Principal, has really done a fantastic job here. He really cares for all of the students. And the students love him.
