The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Magnolia Science Academy is a small school but has a lot of diversity. My favorite part of the school is when we have Festivals and we have music and food. Although I volunteer during all the events I still have fun. The school has a system that's called "rad points" that you earn from paying attention in class or helping the teacher. You can then buy different things using those points for an example pizza with your friends.

It is a small school but it tries it's hardest to give the kids a good experience. Both for middle school and high school. There's good communication between students and teachers; it's easy as well to be able to access them if needed. One thing I would like to see change is lunch. I think they could give better options and quality.

My experience at Magnolia Science Academy 2 gave me the opportunity to be involved in a small school environment and allowed me to develop close relationships to other classmates and teachers/peers.
I am a parent of two MSA2 students and I am very grateful to this school because I have seen the academic improvement in my seventh and ninth graders, they are happy to belong to a community school and in my 2 year experience at MSA2. I am very satisfied with the open and friendly communication with...
To the people thinking they should attend MSA2 however, it was a nice experience in making friends. Teachers are nice. BUT! Not all the teacher were educating students I remember in 8th grade my math teacher barely taught us he said to look up the answer behind the math book, however, the sports are...
Would not recommend school, horrible courses provided and very little opportunities provided to open up your future. Students basically run the whole school and teachers be leaving left and right due to how bad MSA has recently become. And it's a hit or miss that rumors will be spread about you. Ove...
