I am writing to express my grave concerns about the current principal of magnolia elementary school Sarah Robinson. I promised my kids and my wife that I will write a review about this school and especially the principalOne of the issues is the attempt to speak with Principal Robinson. For example, If I need to talk to the principal about something regards my kid's needs I need to make an appointment and go to many steps to see her. After that long process. she doesn't show any care and she always pretends she cares and my problem is not solved. Moreover, since she start in this school the overall standard of education and behavior within the school has significantly declined. My children consistently voice their dissatisfaction with the teaching quality. They often complain that teachers provide minimal instruction and frequently leave the classroom to converse with other faculty members, leaving the students unattended and without guidance. Also, most of the homework is on the parents they have to do the work and the teachers always complain about the level of education. The visible frustration and anger on the faces of the students and the teachers are alarming and indicative of a deteriorating learning environment. It is disheartening to realize that much of what has been presented to us as truth by the school administration is, in fact, a web of lies. I implore the appropriate authorities to initiate a thorough investigation into these matters. Swift action must be taken to rectify these issues and ensure the well-being and education of our children. If necessary, consideration should be given to the potential closure of the school to protect the best interests of the students.Lastly, I am glad I took my kids to another school and they are safe and getting a better education. I can talk negatively about this school until tomorrow but I know no one will listen to me or give any reaction. If you care about your kids this is not the right school to raise your kids educationally.

I have 4 kids, and they all went to Magnolia Elementary School, two of them are in High, and Middle Schools now, and still have two more there! I am so satisfied from the teachers and staff there! I have been with them for the last 5 years, teachers are all so kind and professional, in all levels, from Pre-School till 5th grade! They don’t save any effort to help students and are so close and friendly! My kids are so connected with their teachers and love them a lot, even when they oldest once left it, they always come to visit them! Besides, we have the best office staff ever and the most friendly community! In addition to the beautiful classes! I love everyone at Magnolia and so grateful for them because they are taking good care of my kids and they always follow up with parents and do many workshops for parents, besides, they are ready for any help! I feel that I am at home when I go to Magnolia! God bless everyone work there! The best school for my kids! And I can’t thank enough the team of Extendant Day Program at Magnolia, they are the best!

It's ok for right now since we live 3 min. Away from the school but I hope that will change next year. We will be hopefully moving away. But I do like the staff very nice people.

Horrible . 3 years ago it was better. This last year was horrible. The lack of consideration for students who are not problem children is so sad. I have moved my children out of this school and this school district.

The Principal is amazing and really gets the students involved with a very peaceful attitude towards each other. I notice other students are very respectful. My son has a Learning Disability and they have helped him so much. They give him the attention her really needs. The only down side is the traffic when it's drop off and pick up time. These parents are HORRIBLE and run lights, go through the intersection to block it just to get in. No consideration for pedestrians. I also love the office staff! What a great group of warm, loving, fun people!
