Parents or guardians, i recommend your child does NOT go to this bad school. thank you from a Magnolia middle school student

- I wish I could say a lot of good about this school, but I can't.
I don't think the teachers or the rest of the staff really care about the students, it's just a pay check to them.
I have requested help from the current 8th grade (...) with problems my child has been having and he has yet to address the issue. I have gone to teachers for help and their attitudes were very uncaring to the point that they were rude, they don't care if your child passes or fails. I agree full heartedly with the student who posted that teachers showing favoritism. I wish I could afford to send my child to a private school, this leaves little to be desired.

- My daughter attended Magnolia Middle School for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. She did what was expected of her and didn't get involved in all the gossip and the drama. She had a great time at Magnolia Middle and was very involved in a lot of activities throughout the years. She is now in 10th grade, and visits the Middle School regularly to keep in touch with teachers. Magnolia Middle School was a very positive experience for my daughter. My son will be starting this fall, and I only hope that is experience is positive as well.

- Some of the teaches are racist and rude. They do nothing but complain and yell at the students. There are very few teachers who are good. The rules are infair and disrespectful. Students get yelled at for no reason most of the time and get blamed for the teachers wrong doing. Students are expected to know everyting before it's taught. I hate this school and can't wait to get out. Techers always pick favorites and give the least favorites Es and Ds. No matter how hard the student works. One of my teachers gave me and E on my paper when I got every answer right on a test and wrote "Why Bother" on my paper. another teacher was racist and failed me.
