The caring nature of this school and its excellent staff is represented by the TAKS rating they received this past year. The new assistant principal is a great addition to the school and everyone seems to be on the same page this year even more than before. I'm so glad both of my children go to Moates!
I am a teacher at this school. In order to promote a successful learning environment, I think it is up to the parents, teachers, administration, and students. Communication is an important factor. I constantly make sure that my parents are well informed of the rules and procedures that I set forth in my classroom. I have a dedicated website that includes homework assign, upcoming tests, etc.. that I've paid for out of my own pocket to make sure that there is a good parent/teacher relationship. Due to the dedication of all involved, our school has received 'Recognized' on the TAKS Tests. I am proud to say that I am part of the Moates Elem. family. Ms. Grimes 4th grade.

My child has gone to Moates ever since kindergarten and we are no longer going to go to this school. The prinicpal, although liked him to begin with, is so lax about discipline and very rude in person and on the phone. Have had a few teachers that were ok, but most were too busy worrying with students that were troublemakers. I suggest you go to another school in Desoto ISD or transfer to another school district. ---Very Unhappy Parent

This school has been nothing but a huge dissapointment. I am very displeased with the school's curriculum level, teacher engagement and their procedures surrounding how they address children who continuously target (bully) innocent children who are there to learn. The principal is very laxed and does not make good judgement calls on issues where parents need to be informed. My son will not be continuing with this school.
