As a retired teacher who has taught at this school for over 33 years I would rate it as one of the best in the area. I have substituted at other schools ,both private and public in this area ,and in my opinion, they did not top this school!

I really think Maurice Elementary is a great school. I have a ADHD child and they have been supportive. I wouldn't thinking of sending my children anywhere.
