Moore Middle School

With School starting I thought I'd update this. My son transferred here from another district that did some standard based education down in in South Denver and what a difference! After a few tests with the Jefferson County School District we found my son was a little behind, the teachers and staff went right to work helping him out. They kept me updated and always returned my calls. My son enjoys it and says that the kids are friendly and is making a ton of new friends PLUS he is pulling A/B's !!!!

Moore Middle School was a great school for my daughter, they taught her a lot about who she is and she also learn a lot from the teachers there. They are all great at Moore Middle School.

Not enough homework. I met with the principal last year about the lack of rigor. He agreed to work on it, but nothing different this year.

This is my daughter's first year at Moore. I think that the teacher's are awesome and although my daughter doesn't usually have homework, the way the teacher's work them in the class is admirable. The school offers a strong music and arts program as well as other extracurricular activities. I think the only thing that I am concerned about at Moore is the communication between the administration and the school. They will leave you a voice mail message to let you know if your child has been in trouble. They do not involve you in the process when things are happening, only when they've implimented consequences. (No, my daughter has not been in trouble - yet).

I attend this school at the moment and I for one think it is great. The teachers I have and had last year were the most incouraging and devoted teachers I have ever had. I strongly recomend this school to anyone especially to strong art and sports students that are for the Pomona Panthers.

I am truly disappointed with the way my son s school year has gone. I expected so much more from this school. There are teachers that are very negative when they are confronted with a challenge. They say they want to help and that it is ok for the student to ask for help when needed, but they turn around and with a negative out come and sighs of disgust say ok now what? I would not recommend this school for children that are bilingual as I feel teachers see it as a crutch and I don t believe they are properly trained to handle these children. It seems that they are too stressed, overworked and the life goes on attitude is unacceptable. The advice given to my child after asking for help and support was that if he is behind (1st semester), he should just work twice as hard to catch up.

I attended Moore and was very pleased with. I made friends quickly and easily, and anytime I felt I was falling behind or didnt understand something all I had to do was ask. I for one am proud to say i attended Moore Middle School.

We have not had a good experience at this school. Our son sustained an injury and had minimum support this last year.

My son attended Moore Middle School for all 3 years of Jr. High. He liked the school and so did I. He has some learning disabilities, and they have a great program at Moore. It has been in existance @ 12 yrs, (might be more), and they have it down. My son will be going to High School in the fall, and I really wish he could do High School at Moore also. I would highly recommend this school.

I think this is absolutly disgusting how far behind our kids are this is an outrage and i think it is time the teachers start doing the job they signed up to do! instead of just passing the student along to both another school and another teacher.
