R.M.Moore is an excellent school. I volunteer there, and see how committed everyone is. Impressed by the staff and how clean and well maintained the school is kept. Best of all, my child loves being here and is doing exceptionally well.

Awesome school; the teachers go over and above to help their students. I am most impressed with the the teachers that have taught my nephew. Ms. Gilleland, Ms.Evans, Ms. Mathews, Ms. Bennett, & Ms. Brown. Way to go ladies, keep up the good work. By the way, Mr. Majors is an exceptional Gym Teacher!

We have 2 children in RM Moore school, we love Mr. Johnson and all of the teachers that we have encountered thus far. Our children are doing quite well in their academic careers. We are very happy they attend such a fine school with such a caring faculty.

I moved recently from another part of Canton to this school district. This school is worlds apart from the other school she was attending. The ratios are wonderful, the teachers are great and the principal is awesome. My daughter will be in a classroom instead of a noisy trailer. She will get more attention from the staff and be called by name in the hallway, not just 'Hey You.' This is a wonderful place to live and I love the school. Waleska is only 5 miles from Canton, but it seems worlds apart. My daughter loves the fact that she can walk down the hall at school and not have to fight her way down the hall at some other crowded schools in the area.

My husband and I are seriously considering moving to lake Arrowhead and are interested in the local schools. We are both educators and have a 6 year old daughter who will be in 1st grade this coming school year. She is very bright and needs to be challenged academically and creatively. Do the schools offer more than an 'average' education? How is the community?

My children love the school and their teachers. My son has learned more this year than this in previous years at other schools. He actually said learning was fun at this school
