    Lacrosse practice

    Wow what an amazing school. I can't believe people are writing reviews because the parking lot wasn't big enough at a sporting event. what does that have to do with the school anyways really. The fact is latter-day is a first class education it's the only place you should send your kid to you if you wanted to go to a decent college. It's the right way to go unfortunately it's expensive but it's facilities are incredible. I'm trying to get my kid to go here next year he's just got a pass the entrance exam. Went to the open house and explain to us how it's all about prepping the kids to go to college. In my experience there's nothing better than sending your kid to a school where everybody is in the same boat we all want to go to a good college. Seems like every kid that goes here has the same objective of doing well in life.

    What a magnificent facility. Only the second time I have ever seen a game here. State of the art and rivals many college facilities.

    So far so good. The first couple of weeks were incredibly hectic, their schedule is ever changing…read moredue to having to start later because of the construction delay. I had to miss a couple of events because they switched dates including back to school night & open house. Communication between school and parents is lacking and the only sure way to know what is going on is to constantly check their website which may or may not be updated with current events. I have a 2nd grader and really like his teacher. She uses ClassDojo which has been an amazing resource to get a peek into what and how my child is doing everyday. She posts pictures of the children working on projects and its super nice to see when I'm at work. It's easy to send her messages and she replies right away. I really appreciate their hot lunch program and after school programs for my convenience. I no longer have to pack up cold sandwiches for my child and if I'm running late or work I know he is safe and taken cared of until 6pm. It gets a little wild in there with 2 adults to 50+ children but there's clubs and tutoring and no matter how much I urge my child to take advantage of this he often chooses to stay in the MPR or watch Phineus and Ferb with the Kindergarteners. I think overall the school is very disorganized but it comes with starting something so big and new. My son likes his school and I will most likely let him stay at least until 5th or 6th grade. Although they have a Middle School and High School program I aim to get him into my Alma Mater to experience a full real High School and college prep experience at Mater Dei High School. For now I think Magnolia Science Academy is enough and will prepare him sufficiently for his next steps and it's FREE!

    My child attended this school for two years, and overall we had many positive experiences. The…read morefront office staff was always friendly, welcoming, and did their best to help whenever we had questions or concerns. However, one of the biggest issues we experienced was with substitute teachers. I felt there was very little oversight when substitutes were in the classroom. My child spent a significant amount of time not receiving meaningful instruction in his math class, and it often seemed like class time was being used for activities that did not support learning. I reached out to the school several times regarding these concerns, but unfortunately I was often transferred from person to person and never received clear answers or solutions. While the staff members I spoke with would say that it was not them who I needed to speak and transfer me and the person they would transfer me to would say the same thing, I did not feel supported by the school's administration when trying to address an important academic concern. Specially since I tried to reach out several times not just once. Because of this experience, we have decided that our child will not be returning next year. I truly appreciate the teachers and front office staff who worked hard to create a welcoming environment, but I hope the school takes a closer look at classroom supervision and accountability when substitutes are present. Specially if there are substitutes that are there for long term.

    For some context (if you aren't already following my fabulous reviewing work):…read moreThis is the battle between our talented band's average football team and Valley High School. Our initial view on this school is well, entrance was easy and the school seems clean (from what I can tell.) Beginning the football included announcements, which I have mixed feelings about. Considering that the names they announced were random names with minimal to no cheering from the other side (the home side,) I would rather have them announce our band. We are most likely the most exciting part of this night so that should be considered in the next game's announcements. "Theres like nobody here" ... This comment from a fellow bandmate leads to my next point, which is that the other football team may be lacking in their skills or student section. Next for the bathrooms. They are fine. That is the extent to which I can describe them, but a key detail is that the right sink needs to not spray in my face when I turn it on. I could list this as a hazard but have decided to hold that back because of my one good point about this stadium: Overall why this football field/stadium deserves a four is because of their concessions. Tastea and snow cones were very delicious. We approve of your food stands, which allow many more options than other stadiums do. The last sentence I know you have all been waiting for is that the score ended with 0-49. You can only guess which side won (it should be obvious-our team.) "It was okay." Love, Marching Band Pro Performers

    Amazing School! Had so much fun. Great campus with amazing resources. Valley High School offers…read moremany great resources and clubs to join. If you're involved at school, your high school years will be the best.
