GreatSchools Rating
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.

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.

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...
