Susan Moore school is a wonderful place for children to learn, grow and become successful. The teachers do an excellent job with the resources given and really do well reaching children of all levels.

Susan Moore is a wonderful school as far as education and disipline are concerned. I would recomend Susan Moore Elm to anyone that is new to the area. The teachers care about the students. The only thing I have found to be a issue is not giving enough notice to parents concerning activities or needing things. The note comes home the day before they need things and as all of you know sometimes this creates a hardship on the family. Over all the school is a great school, I just think there needs to be a little more concern with notifiing parents and families.
