Posted January 24, 2013

We moved from Maryland to Delaware and we are in the district. The office staff took 2 weeks to get my child enrolled. It was so bad that the Maryland school had to send a threatening letter stating that they are denying my child access to an education. The front office staff are incompetent and degrading and rude. My child has been there for two months now. The teacher is extremely un-professional and sends rude notes home almost daily. My child has never had such a hard time in school with a teacher but this teacher is not capable of education my child properly. My child has always received high marks but now is constantly getting low marks at this school. My child comes home saying the teacher just yells all day. If I had any other viable option, my child would not attend this school.

The moment I walked into Mote for a Choice Open House, I felt welcome. Academically, the teachers are always looking for ways to supplement the children's education. My son is in the first grade, therefore I am not aware of all the activites available, but he does participate in the Chess Club, which he absolutely loves. Parents in Mote are always willing to step up to do what is needed to make Mote the best school possible.
