Magnolia Park Elementary School

Posted July 9, 2009

You know the old saying you don't know what you have till it's gone. Well that is how we feel about Magnolia. We moved last year to Colorado and really miss the school. My 4th grader was in a language arts class challenging her post high school reading level. Bored to tears here. My special needs 2nd grader is doing ok but we really miss Dr. Callahan's caring approach to his education. Both Mrs. Lewis and Dr. Callahan have high expectations for their students, which was always a plus for us. Great experience and definitely would go back to Magnolia if we ever get transferred back to Ms. Magnolia is a great school for parents wanting the best for their children. A very pleasant experience would return in a minute if we got transferred back to Ms.

I have read some of the previous emails and I have to strongly disagree. I have a six year old as well who has just finished first grade. It was a very hard adjustment period for him and the teachers and school staff went out of their way and helped him work through his anxieties enabling him to excel in school. My older child has attended MP for 4 years and I have been very pleased with the level of education he is receiving. As a military family we have had the opportunity to compare various schools and this school has an educational system that far exceeds the others.

This is a great school! They have really helped my 10 year old son a lot. He was not doing so good when we lived in Vancleave, but he is doing great in Magnolia Park!

Magnolia Park Elementary has helped my children excel in all areas. I am most of all pleased with the dedication to challenging students academically to be the best they can be. A previous parent review questioned Magnolia Park's philosophy regarding fostering independence in students and challenging them to be the best they can be. I have seen the benefits of this approach with my own 1st grade child and have seen tremendous growth with her academic, social, and organizational skills this school year. I am glad to see that the teachers and administration at Magnolia have high expectations for all! For the parent with a previous review who is not happy with that approach for her child , maybe the previous school in Gulfport was better suited for you if you don't value independence, high expectations, and academic excellence as do the other parents, teachers, and admistration at Magnolia Park.
