A closer look on Magnolia Science Academy

Parent Testimonial:

Magnolia offers a great academic program. My daughter has a chance to excel in both math and English. She also has computer classes and she likes computer programming. Her typical day in public schools used to end at 2 pm, while now Magnolia has an extended academic day with high expectations.

Magnolia Science Academy was the choice of my daughter.. At first, I was objecting her because I was in doubt of this little school with 10 or less classrooms and a few staff. We are happy to see that at last I made the right decision to enroll her.

In these difficult economic times, Magnolia is making great sacrifices to offer clubs, free tutoring, social activities, on and on. The student-teacher ratio is so low that I cannot believe it. Previous year, she attended a reputable public school in an affluent community. The number of students in her class was 38. This year, she’s in the class with 27 kids.

Recently, I found out there are a few people who speak ill of Magnolia schools. I feel like they’re rather reacting to the schools’ success. They try to defame these schools by labeling them with some sort of  illusive “Gulen charter schools, whatever it means. I tried to make a little research on it. But when I faced too many self contradicting, baseless articles, I gave up.. I was very disappointed for my wasted time on those unreasonable information.

My personal opinion is that, it’s better to go to school and take a closer look on Magnolia.  As a parent, I see care, respect, commitment, and high standards at school staff. Beyond that, I do not really care. All I care is that my daughter is happy at Magnolia Science Academy; her eagerness for knowledge has notably improved and improving everyday.
