The teachers from about 3rd grade and up really care about the kids. The younger grades keep changing teachers. Moos deeply needed a new principal and they got it. The old principal was rude, loud and unprofessional. I hope the school gets better.

Moos is a great school, very happy I enrolled my kids here. My kids use to go to Norman Bridge Elementry and they hated it, since I have enrolled them into Moos they are happier and love going to school...

Moos does not have everything going good for them. And now the middle school hardly has any teachers. They need to get their priorities straight and that's getting more teachers. And not worry about any little piercings the kids have because that is on the kids and the parents.

Moos has its work cut out but on a positive note the teachers care, the administration is supportive, and the children enjoy going to school.

This school has many problems rooting from the lack of administrative support. There is no dicipline at all and the teachers and staff who are there are the worst.

My experience with Moos Elementary is not a good one. My child has been attending Moos for almost three years. He has had problems with comprehension since preschool. I advised Moos of his academic challenges and like his previous school, Von Humboldt, they are ignoring his obvious need for assistance. The teachers can only do so much for their students being that there are too many students and no help for the teachers. My advise, homeschool or pay for private school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Illinois used the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 4 and 7 in science. The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
