George Lincoln Mosher School

I have a Kindergarten student starting out at Mosher this year. He has attended preschool for 2 years and has performed very well and has been motivated t start Kindergarten. I had all the confidence that his adaptation to kindergarten would be equally if not more successful. Unfortunately, the experience at Mosher has been less than acceptable. The orientation night as well as the back to school night was conducted in a very rushed and standoffish manner. There was an unwelcoming demeanor, and it seems as if the principal lacks compassion for the Kindergarteners that are experiencing school for the first time. the Mosher experience has affected an otherwise motivated student and has converted that motivation into a reluctance to attend this school. The principal lacks the compassion for first time school attendees and their families. If I could transfer our child to another school , then I certainly would.

My son went to this school last year for 5th grade. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The 5th grade teaching team was excellent (Mrs. Dickinson and Mrs. Tracy). I know that the experiences that my son had this school year will help form him for the rest of his life. Thank you for all of the support you gave this school year. It was much appreciated.

Mosher has raised my expectations of what public schools should be. My son has been there for 2 yrs going on 3. I have seen 2 different principals, Mr Brown ( has left) had more involvement and brought out school spirit with after school activ. Something that the new principal was lacking this year. Not taking anything away from her she was able to keep the curriculum, staff, and environment the same. School is in a beautiful updated condition from classrooms to playground. I do think they can push the kids harder but i also look at class sizes and see where that could be a challenge. My sons ability in math (strong), reading ( weak) have matured greatly this year. The teacher spotted his problem area early, involved us with her plan, and followed through. Was impressed towards the end of the year to see how much he got out of school. If your having second thoughts of Mosher don't this is a great school. My Daughter starts this year. will update next year with new thoughts. I wish there was more parent involved but i do understand times are hard right now .

I Think This School Is Great. It is motivating and has a good choice of TEACHERS and the PRINCIPLE is very awesome and funny.. We Have Days That Always Entertain US. Like today when we had a crazy day most of the teachers 5were dressing really crazy. This school shows alot of school spirit. In my point of view..

Mosher has a GREAT Principal, he takes pride in his students & teachers. I am very please with the way the Principal is running the school. When I leave my student at school, I now she will be getting a top notch education, her teacher takes her time to explain to the students & she lets the student explore new adventures, idea's. I come from the bay area & the things my child is learning is totally different & on a higher level. I like that fact the children are learning at a higher level. I know my child is being properly prepared for middle & high school as well as college. I recommend other parent to bring there children to Mosher Elem., the school is very diverse, challeging & happy/fun place to learn. Mr. Brown keep up the good work you are one of the best Principals ever.

This school has a lot of serious problems. I'm in the process of trying to find somewhere else for my children to go. Primarily, it's unsafe, and it's poorly managed. The environment is not one that is conducive to learning. The teachers are extremely good, but with so much working against them in terms of the behavioral issues and the administration, it's extremely difficult for them to be effective.

The teachers are exceptional; The parents have a limited say in PTA decisions.
