Moiola (Fred) Elementary School Reviews

 
This is a follow up to my comments from June 2003. The other comments listed here do not appear to be by current parents but rather adults who once attended Moiola when it was still worthy of being a CA. Distinguished School. Things have changed. There is absolutely no consistency in regards to discipline or academics for the upper core, 6-8 grades. After attending Moiola from K-6 grades, we will not be returning as this is not an environment that encourages kids to reach for their dreams. Today it seems that many of the staff, not just teachers, only want perfect children who don't need any thing more than what the teachers and other staff are willing to provide them.

I am a new parent to Moiola and after great research, I chose to move both my children there this year because of the smaller campus and K-8 environment. I am greatly disappointed. I have realized that the main reason for the high test scores at Moiola are because of the parents and the nature of the kids. I have seen no exceptional teaching. I have seen little imagination and creativity in what is taught. My oldest child is in the middle grades and has done nothing but worksheets all year. The teacher does not even grade homework. Students are simply punished for not doing it. There is no accountability. Everyone seems to go along happy that the test scores are high and doesn't seem to notice that a whole generation of children are learning that school is boring and losing their desire to grow and learn.

Moiola is a great school with the best teachers. Their test scores are very high!The only bad thing about Moiola is the extracarricular activities. There are no electives in Moiola's upper core. Other than that, Moiola is perfect!

I am a parent at Moiola school. I only have concern that the physical eduction at this school is not strong. The children need to have physical activities along with the academic learning especially obesity seems to be a problem in the US. The lunch duty ladies could be a little more pleasant to the children. The children feel very rushed to finish their lunch, just not enough time. The lunch on the lawn is not very convenient for the parents, I feel sorry for the children who have to eat by themselves because both parents have to work. They should really get rid of that bi-annual events.

My son is in kindergarten and the first week they seemed so protective of the children as they were being released to their parents after class. However now it seems everyday my son is already in the car before I see someone out there watching over them. Thank God it was me picking him up and not a stranger. Just make sure your not a second late to pick your child up or someone else may!

This school is a k-8 school. It provides an enriching environment in a warm and caring way. The teachers are there for the students and many activities take place including the whole student body. There is a lot of parent involvement at school from math nights, science nights, Art Masters and many more activities. The PTA is a very strong and supportive group and parents also volunteer in the classroom. The students are happy to be at school and enjoy learning.

Moiola is an excellent school, has high parent involvment and the district has a high academic standard. The kids are happy and the teachers seem to be happy to be there.

The school appeared on the internet to be the best in the proximity of where we lived and it provided the kids a school that was not too large (K-8). We have previously lived in two other states and the level of education here was far less than we had imagined. The hours were much shorter, the time they go out to play/recess is extraordinary and the minute amount of homework have left my kids thinking it is a summer school and the skills they had are deteriorating. I found out later that most of the kids get extra curricular teaching after school and that my kids were falling behind without even knowing it. While it appears the teachers are qualified and try hard I think the basic issue is the funding caused weak curriculum combined witt the shorter time in school is not what I would have expected.
