Magnolia Science Academy 2 Review

teachers always get you in trouble especially Ms.Aun

This is the best school I ever been sure the food is bad but is fine

This is really nice school good behavior bad food yes but it is fine my 2 daughters go to this school yes they love it .So go to the school anyways you can pack your sons or daughters food .Thats what I do plus they are trying there best so I give this school a 5 out of 5 .Keep on trying your best teachers loving the work thank you .

Teachers are eager to help the kids learn and build up their confidence. Classes are not are over crowed which allows each student to receive the help that is needed. The school also has a strong PTF where parents are able to meet with the principal every Friday to discuss new events and concerns.This Charter School really includes students,parents and staff to keep things running smoothly. Each year MSA2 has something new like school theme dances, fun field trips, sports, tutoring, college courses etc. As a proud parent myself of a HIGH HONORS 7th grader I can say the school is doing a GREAT JOB.

Good School but disappointed to some teachers that don't teach like Ms.Anderson like every time a office official comes in or some people from a LAUSD inspection that come in look around too see any flaws but you think a teacher is going to have their feet up at the desk when they come if you think that means either A.You are dumb or B.You are dumb.I hope she gets fired because she is a really bad teacher that dosent deserve the job and I wish that a real teacher can take it.

Edit:this school is going down hill one day are food from the "cafeteria" came frozen like meat and cheese were frozen in the sandwich and also are grades are going down since they made tests become 70 percent of our grade like what the hell is that.Its like they dont want us to pass are classes.I regret not switching schools now i am stuck at this school.

Magnolia Science Academy-2 isn't a perfect school, no school is. Although, MSA-2 is a great school. I've been a student at MSA-2 for the past 5 years, and just recently graduated this year. Over my 5 years at this school, I have come to honestly love it and already miss being a student here. MSA-2 has grown a considerable amount from when I first started in a great way.

I will start off by saying the English department is phenomenal at MSA-2. Mr. Tuazon, Ms. McNiel, Mr. Brown, and Ms. Eddenfield (Note: I've never had Ms. Eddenfield as a teacher but I have heard from my friends that she is an awesome teacher) are all teachers who teach with passion and bring out the absolute best in their students. The math department is also very strong, Mrs. Dikyurt, Mr. Nguyen, Mr. Erzoz, and Mr. Tucker (Note: I haven't had Mr. Tucker as a math teacher but judging what other students and teacher have said Mr. Tucker is great math teacher) always make sure to help students every step of the way if they don't understand something. The science department has been a little rocky in the past but recently it has been begun shaping up to be engaging, and interesting. Mrs. Sahin in particular keeps her class interesting, engaging, fun, and informative. The history department is also great. Mr. Campagno, Mr. Lightfoot, Mrs. Tkatch, and Mr. Andrade make learning our past interesting and fun. The art department is ran only by one teacher, Mr. Philipson. I should mention that before I took Mr. Philipson's AP Studio Art class, I seriously doubted my artistic ability, but Mr. Philipson taught me and the class many techniques to improve our art and always offered bits of help to incorporate into our pieces. He is a teacher who values each person's art and imagination and helps his students to bring that to life. As long as you put in the effort to learn, every single teacher at Magnolia will help you every step of the way.

Recently, our school's robotic team has been going rock solid. The students in the robotics team are passionate and so is the teacher Mr. Bidak. I have never been in the robotics team, but lately they have been absolute killing in the competitions. For 3 years, I have been in this school's Academic Decathlon, within those 3 years I had the best time I have ever had at Magnolia. The competition is both fun and competitive. The most important part is that Academic Decathlon provides amazing learning opportunities such as public speaking, essay writing, and preparing speeches. The head coach of Academic Decathlon is Mr. Tuazon who always encourages new recruits and guides them through each part of the competition.

This year, the school implemented a house system. It's kind of like Harry Potter with its houses like Gryfindor, Hufflepuff, etc. This system encourages students to follow the school rules and keep up good grades in order to earn points for the house. It manages to keep the students interested, and motivates them to be excellent students.

This school also has an Anti-Bullying Prevention team which is spearheaded by Adrian Gonzalez, a current student at MSA-2. Adrian is extremely passionate about his anti-bullying program and does it so that the school remains a friendly, and safe environment for all students.

This school is one big happy family, you get to grow a strong bond with your fellow classmates and the teachers who can help a student more closely due to the small size of this school. The smaller size gives the faculty the ability to help students easily and making sure the students become scientific thinkers who contribute to the global community as socially responsible and educated members of society.

This is a great school, if you decide to send your children to this school you won't regret it. Your child will receive a quality education, in a safe, and friendly environment while keeping learning both educational and engaging.

The food is terrible and I keep getting pushed around and bullied every day. The internet of this school is terrible.

This school is meh 1/10 not supreme enough for Mr.Eli.PS this school smells like swamp ass.

I have been here for 4 years and it's a great school for its size. Don't think it needs any major update. The almost half the teachers are chill, the other half are just doing there job.

Bullying is a big problem at this school no control over it......

I love this school my son wasn't doing very well at first in another school. we got him into Magnolia and now he is a straight-A student and doing very well I can see so much approvement and whenever we have a problem they fix it and address it right away this school has been a total blessing for me and my son.

The food is actually raw. Who's the donkey that served frozen sandwiches? THE MEAT AND CHEESE HAD ICE ON IT. Other than completely frozen sandwiches, the school runs out of food for high school students every other day. What doesn't help the situation is that they gave the 6th graders their own lunch apart from the 7th and 8th graders, which in turn makes high school students wait a long time for their lunch. Not only is the food terrible but the school itself sucks so much. The grading system was changed to basically try and fail students, tests and quizzes are worth 70 percent of our grade! One teacher in particular makes you copy down a graph or chart then gives you a test the new day about it and makes you redraw it from memory. Its like he expects you to be a damn robot. Absolutely ridiculous. Some teachers are phenomenal but theirs very few...only like 3 really good teachers at this school. Admins like Mr. Garner just sap away the joy from this school. He has the most stupid regulations for students. He gave me detention for wearing a hood and I was't even in a classroom I was outside. I don't know what is going through that mind of his which thinks giving detention for wearing a hood actually makes sense. The school does nothing about bullying either, if you report you are getting bullied the admins won't do anything at all. I wish I had moved schools when I had the chance, now I'm reluctantly stuck here until i graduate. If a parent comes and confronts them about not doing anything about bullying, they will lie to your face and say they will do something about it but don't get fooled, they wont.

There's one fight at least once a day some "teachers" don't really teach much.

Great. I go to MSA-SA, but I have heard about this school and it is amazing. All schools is Magnolia Public Schools are amazing!!!!

So proud with my students and school staff. Selected as best HS in LAUSD and 26th best High School in Claifornia in 2016 by CDE.
