Moneta Elementary School

Moneta is a wonderful small elementary school. The principal is a dedicated educator as are the teachers and staff that I have dealt with. Additionally, they are a 21st Century Grant school and a Title 1 school. This affords Moneta extra money and services. I particularly enjoy the after school enrichment that the 21st Century Grant offers. I am very happy with both of my children's progress at Moneta.

Moneta Elem. School is a great school. The teachers are very knowledgeable, highly qualified, and extremely caring towards all their students. They communicate well with parents and encourage parental envolvement in all aspects of their students' education. The comment from the other parent who stated that the principal told them "the majority of students spent time in remediation (which a polite was of saying catch-up)!" is incorrect. The students at Moneta Elem. all benefit from an Enrichment time each day in which students can receive remeediation, if needed, which others get to participate in enriching activities that challenge them. When making a decision as important as the school that your children will attend, I suggest that all parents listen carefylly to explanations given by the admininstrators and/or teachers at the schools they are considering and even take a day to observe some of the classrooms. Such an important decision should not be based solely on misinterpreting one conversation.

My son attended he PreK program at moneta last year and, while I was pleased with the enthusiasm of the faculty, my wife and I ultimately chose to send our son elsewhere for fear that our son would not be in the best environment, receive an appropriate level on attention and be tested to his fullest capabilities. I sat down with the principal and discussed my concerns and was told that the majority of students spent time in remediation (which a polite was of saying catch-up)! In our area, this is one of the best choices, however I find this difficult to fathom. We will likely move to find better schools for our children as it is just that important for their futures.
