My experience at Magnolia Science academy 3 has been great. The staff and facilities are always willing to help the students when they need anything. The students are also great half of the time but overall good. Something bad that I would say is that sometimes they run out of food for the students which is bad but it only happens sometimes. I would like to see and hear the student be heard and seen more.

Nothing, except that it's an easy school. They offer many classes, such as AP and college classes. They give students a lot of help when doing work.
