My daughter attends the Magnet program at Vena. Currently in 3rd grade, she has attended since 1st grade. The magnet program is excellent. Ms. Garcia (1st Grade teacher), Ms. Debuque (2nd Grade teacher) and now Ms. Bender (3rd Grade)are all wonderful. With parent support the Magnet program is able to provide many additional learning opportunities for the magnet children. The Magnet program has strong participation from the parents and Ms. Lew (the Magnet Coordinator) has done a wonderful job in her position. My daughter has been identified Gifted/Talented in the Intellectual category, and I can honestly say that I can attribute that to the fact that she has adapted well to the Vena Magnet environment. She enjoys going to school and loves her teachers. I recommend the Vena Magnet program to anyone looking for a school that will develop and nurture their child's academic abilities.
My daughter attends the Magnet school currently in 1st grade. I transfered her here for the magnet program and she is reading at almost 3rd grade level as well as math, etc. She loves her teacher, Ms Garcia, who is an energetic smiling woman :-) They have many extra liberal arts programs for the Magnet students such as Science, Dance/Theater, Orch/Choir (for 4th/5th. However, I have been very unhappy with the resident school that this magnet is located on. I knew this going into it, but didn't realize how much of an 'outsider' I would be. About half of the parents only speak spanish and most parent meetings are translated. There is very little parent involvement, esp for a school of this size. In summary, I will be moving my daughter back to the school she came from to the SAS program there.
this school is great my daughter is so happy to attend also love there workshop for parents program.
