Magill Elementary School

Both of grandchildren have attended Magill since they started public school. The oldest is finishing the 4th grade and the youngest is finishing the 2nd grade. They both are in the Focus program. We are thrilled with the all of the teachers they've had! Ms. McIlvaine and Ms. Jennings and they are both top notch! The Focus teachers are great as well! We will be moving out of state over the summer but I want to be sure to say thanks for the great experiences they've both had at Magill!

My daughter currently attend Magill and I love Mrs. Riley. She makes sure all of her students achieve.

My children have attended Magill for four years and every year have had excellent teachers. This year Magill got a new principal and assistant principal. Ms. Collins and Ms. Kana have really provided an improved atmosphere to the shool.

I love this school! My son has attended Magill since 1st grade and is now in the 4th, he loves this school as well. Every teacher he has had has been exceptional, caring, educated and positive. I only hope for that to continue his remainder time at Magill. Although the previous principal was not as effective with the parents I do hope the changes made will only be better for the school and community.

This was my sons first year at Magill. I found the school to be excellent in meeting his special needs as an autistic child. I thank Mrs. Rudolph and her team for working hard with him. I saw many positive changes in him that I never saw before. This was also the first year that he loved school. Again, thanks Magill.

My child has been at Magill since kindergaten. What once was a school of excellence has gone down hill due to overcrowded classrooms and teachers stretched so thin they don't have time for one on one with students. The rules change daily, students are confused and stressed. Their only focus is test scores and not the individual needs of students. Parental concerns often go unaddressed for weeks. The admin staff is too busy to get to know students and parents on a personal level.

I Love this school!!! The teachers are wonderful, the principals and staff are friendly and helpful and we are always welcome at the school. I am a room mom and it has been a great experience for my 3 children. The education they recieve is great. My kids love the extra curricualr activities that many elementary schools just don not offer.

My daughter has attended Magill for four years. We have seen many changes occur in this time. Some of these changes have been for the good and some not so good. I feel that Magill has always been a bit too large to really have a complete handle with children at this age. With the opening of Rosebud I thought the relief would be good but we only lost 400 students so I see the number of students increasing back quickly and the need for trailers becoming a need in the next year or two again. We have experienced greatness in teaching and laziness and no concern which I believe you will find in every profession. This year we got lucky and our daughters teacher is wonderful. The PTA is great and there are always events to keep the parents and children involved which is a plus!!!

My daughter is in the 3rd grade at magill and is doing great. The teachers are great, parents are very involved and this is a plus for the school, school is very organised and safety is a must for this school. My daughter did exceptionally well on the crtc so magill must be doing things right. This is the school to be in.
