Magnolia Elementry School

What an amazing school! I say this with every bit of me! From the office to the teachers the nurse the principal is truly breathtaking, this is truly a little community. Everyone is so thoughtful here. I’ve always felt the love here but today made it speechless when Mr. Hines went out of his way to give me and my husband a hand out in the rain because our cars battery died! xoxo Sierra Family! #SpreadTheLove #GodIsGood

This was such an amazing school to start off my education journey in Carlsbad at. Talk about small, local, love and a tight knit community. Mr. Boone was an amazing principal and his words have forever stuck with me through the years. He would always come on the speaker phone over head and end his daily announcements with,“Make it a great day or not the choice is yours.” Truly, an incredible bunch of teachers that I’m sure has changed significantly since I’ve been there but I would love nothing more than to send my kids here one day. Very safe and I walked away very prepared for middle school.

Fabulous school. Parent involvement is incredible. Mr. Hines, principal, has done an outstanding job creating an inspiring learning environment. Most teachers are good. One should go into another field like dog training or pet sitting instead of impacting learning by housing disruptive animals in the classroom.
If you are looking for a solid family supported neighborhood school within a district of poor administrators who don’t invest in our kids — then this is your place. Magnolia tries to support as many programs as possible to keep kids involved in music, art and PE.
Lastly, on a bigger scale, if you are looking toward your child’s future success in learning, choose another district completely. Suzette Lovely and her cronies whom she bought down from the corrupt San Juan Capistrano district are destroying our schools by hiring overpriced consultants that supply inaccurate information to the school board resulting in inappropriate appropriation of funds that DO NOT reduce class size, increase computer usage in the classroom or worse yet offer a GATE program that supports our advanced learners.
None of us should be satisfied with classroom sizes of 34 – 37 students in any elementary classroom setting. You can expect those sizes in Carlsbad Unified. Try Encinitas.
