Moss Street Elementary School

My little girl goes to Moss Street and she LOVES it. The teachers are great. If she LOVES it she will go there until she goes on to middle school. I wouldn't move her unless I absolutely had to.

The new principal, Mrs. Mckinney, does not believe in communicating information to parents. I do not understand how she got this position. She does not return concerned parents' phone calls, and she is very disrespectful towards parents and some school staff. Parents beware!

The teachers there are very caring. the adminstration leaves something to desire. The principal has no auhtority and the assistant principal shows no caring for the staff or students. The best thing about this school was Year Round and they are taking that out.

My son has gone to Moss Street Elementary since Kindergarten participating in the Year Round Program, he's currently in 5th, straight A student. I have had no problems with the school, teachers or size of classrooms, I've been very pleased. The school is a Title 1 school, which receives additional funding for education. I feel the school strives to having each student feel they can acheive their best. The school strongly encourages parent involvement. Parent involvement is key in the child's education; in school and home. I have recommended this school to others and will continue to do so. From speaking with others in the community, I feel the school has really received a bad reputation for all the wrong reasons. Mainly because it's such a diverse school. Maybe the students aren't the only ones needing education.

I think this is one of the worst schools in the county. The classes are too large and the teacher spends most of the day discipling rowdy kids. It is also economically at a disadvantage since most of the kids come from poor homes. It is proven that more affluent schools have better education. My children go here currently and I have requested a transfer for next year to get them out of here and into a county school. Do not send your children here.
