Magnolia Avenue Elementary School Reviews

Magnolia is a high energy school with a large South American (El Salvador; Honduras; Mexican) population. The teaching is possibly as good as you would get at any other school around the area (not great). Because there is such pressure from the LAUSD enforce a specific reading program, the teachers are unable to teach anything other than Reading and Math. Art, Science, Music and Physical Ed. are a luxury in some classrooms. They have a rather uncohesive administration which lack leadership and purpose. As a parent of a student that attended Magnolia and former student at that school, I regret that the situation at that school has such detrimental effect on teacher morale and school atmosphere starting at the door.

Great administration and committed teachers.

Magnolia has great teachers whom have been there for more than 20yrs. However, as time passes by I believe teacher's in Magnolia have lost touch with the quality of teaching to young kids in a humble diversity community. I've had poor encounters with teachers at this school. I truly believe Magnolia can be & do much more for their students than what they do now. Magnolia does not have many extracurricular activities to choose from. They have no sport's programs for the kids, and very limited physical activity. Their music classes are fair, but not much of instrumental variety to choose from. Although the school is located in a Hispanic community, making it not a very diverse school, it needs to focus on educating the students with a higher learning power. Focusing more in english, reading & writing. Overall, I rate this school with a 4.
