Fantastic choice - really delivers a solid, excellent education from caring teachers and administrators. Currently have 2 children enrolled at Moiola and have enjoyed the learning environment and opportunities afforded them.

Love that a K-8 option is available in this district. Moiola has been a safe and nurturing environment for a number of years and is an excellent resource for the community. The self confidence and integrity that my children have gained from attending Moiola is a gift that I will forever be grateful for being able to offer to them. Thank you, Moiola.

I have had 5 children attend Moiola and it is hands down the best school for my children. Especially for grades 6-8, the middle schools pull kids into a harsher environment at too young of an age. Kids do not need high school pressures at age 10! My kids have excelled going into high school from Moiola, while others I know at the middle schools have gotten involved in drugs and other inappropriate behavior. Thank goodness we still have a K-8 school that experience and studies show the students there have a greater academic, emotional and social adjustment than at the middle schools.

This school is like a private school, teachers know students very well. I don't think there will be any problems for students when they transfer to high schools. I hope all parents should visit this school before they decide to transfer their children to other middle schools.

I attended Moiola K-8, and agree with other reviewers that it was a fun experience and I made life-long friends. The atmosphere was positive and the small atmosphere made the school feel like a second home. However, the education I received was painfully inadequate. To say that I was ill-prepared for Fountain Valley High School is an understatement. Not only was there complete culture shock (switching classes, huge numbers of students coming & going, lockers, hurrying to class, etc), but I had to study like crazy to catch up with the curriculum. The students who attended Fulton and Masuda did not have such issues. The middle school environment had prepared them for high school. I think Moiola is fine for K-5, but I strongly suggest that students transfer @ 6th grade to Fulton, Masuda, or even Talbert if they plan on eventually heading to FVHS.

This is very good school , my child will be staying here until 8th grade , this school is very good. GO MOIOLA MUSTANGS!

I have two children attending Moiola. I am upset at how the teachers lack student involvement and safety. My son is in first grade and at the end of the day, they just let the kids go with no teacher supervision. It's like the dismissal bell is more for the teachers than the children. Next year I will be looking to move my children to a private school. For a so-called great school district, I am very upset with Moiola!

I have had my children in this school since 4th grade they are currently in 8th grade. I can't express how disappointed I am in Moiola. The teachers lack creativty, respect and any sort of interest in the kids at all. The only reason I have chosen to keep my children here is beacause it is in close proximity to my house. I would not recommed Moiola to anyone. Especially the for middle school.

This is the only K-8 school in our district. It's like a private school, and it's a great school. I transfer my kids to this school because I know my kids will have a best school in this district.
