We love Magnolia! My son has been at this school for two years now and I have nothing but great things to say. The teachers are great! The academics are strong and the principal is a strong leader. The school is small and has a strong community feel. I'm very happy we have this great school in our neighborhood.

We love Magnolia! My son is close to finishing Kindergarten at Magnolia and we have had such a positive experience with the teachers (Mrs. Cooper is great!), parents, and our exceptional principal, Mr. Hines. This school offers a warm, nurturing community atmosphere along with high academic standards...a winning combination!

This is our first year for our daughter and it is turning out to be a fabulous school. The teacher's and principal, especially, are very in tune to teaching a robust academic program. Keep it up! Mr. Hines is really going the extra mile to make a great program. It may be an old building, with changes coming, but it's all about parent imvolvement and learning.

Very dedicated and experienced staff combined with a nurturing environment. There are plenty of staff that will take a sincere interest in your child's development. It's better than most private schools my kids have been enrolled in in NY.

This year has started out very good. The new principal Mr. Hines seems very involved and dedicated to seeing the students succeed. I believe the curriculum at the school could be a little tougher.

There is nothing really spectacular about this school. There are other schools in the district that are so much better! I will say that the teacher's at this school are exceptional and the office staff is great. There isn't any real diversity at this school, there is no leadership, they have a new principle that is more about the rules than anything else, and she might not be here next year. Who knows what will happen at this school. They do have music and PE, which is good because other than that, the children are pretty limited at what they can do at recess. And you will most likely see the same parents around volunteering and doing things for the school, them and the teachers are what keeps this school running. I hope that they get a principle in here that they can keep.

The teachers at Magnolia Elementary are truly Amazing! I have been extremely pleased with my childrens' progress through the years and they continue to excel. I feel it's the teachers that should receive the credit for their continued success. Thank you!
