“I agree with the earlier post. There is a subculture that exists here, something we have not experienced at our other school. My child is struggling.”

“Good luck if you are a new family that has moved into the neighborhood. This is not a welcoming school. The parents and students do not go out of their way to welcome new students. What you get instead are stares and the cold shoulder.”

“Both of my children attended Moorlands. They are now in Jr High and have transitioned well, thanks to the staff at Moorlands. I've found the teachers friendly, helpful and caring. The principal is very involved - he attends every function. In the mornings, he's out there, welcoming the kids. In the afternoons, he gives out high 5's as they board the school busses. And of course, the staff and volunteers contibute to make this school a Great School!”

“This school is NOT for children with a learning disability who is also in the general education program. Send your child somewhere else, where they will be treated fairly and their disability will be taken into consideration.”

“What a wonderful school! Great teachers, wonderful staff and the parental involvement is amazing.”

“Moorlands is an exceptional public elementary school. The community of staff, teachers, parents and business make this a fabulous place to raise kids. The PTA is a large, fun, open group that does amazing events and grants to the school.”

“Level of parent involvement is amazing- great school with wonderful programs.”

“I'm the mother of three daughters-6,9&11. Moorlands has been exceptional in educating my girls. The teachers are very clued into the needs of the students. The parental support is unlike most schools. We have a very strong PTA. The teachers appreciate and value all the support parents give them. They in return do an outstanding job in educating and motivating our children. Moorlands is tucked away on a small hill. We are actually a very large school but with the feeling of a small private school. Thank you to the teachers and staff for doing such a wonderful job.”
