I have 2 children who currently attend this school. I could not be more proud of the teachers, administration, and staff at A.C. Moore. Communication from the school is transparent and consistent. Principal Aldridge is absolutely fabulous and she cares so much about each and every student. She is always smiling and has positive vibes! The PTO is extremely active and there is constantly school events that bring our community together. My children look forward to going to school every day which is so important to me as a parent. My kids know that their teachers care about them and it makes them feel happy and safe.

A.C. Moore is a downtown gem. Wonderful and caring teachers, involved parents, and a real neighborhood, walk-to-school feel. Both of our children excelled here and have gone on to success in middle school and high school. The small class sizes make it possible for children to truly shine and receive one-on-one attention; additionally, a vibrant after-school program and diverse student body are both "pluses" in today's world. Our children were challenged in the advanced academic program at AC Moore. The media center and student art "galleries" lining the hallways are not to be missed! For those moving to the AC Moore zone (Shandon, Wales Garden, Hollywood/RoseHill, and University Hill), I would encourage you to check out A.C. Moore. The school has many parents who are happy to answer questions and provide more information about what makes AC Moore so special!

My children have attended this school for 3 years. We have had nothing but issues with this school. It's quite a shame when the teaching professors at the University of South Carolina even speak badly about this school. Teachers here treat you like an outsider if you are not one of their gossiping friends. They are very two-face with different parents. The principal does not lead this school. The only thing that is a plus about this school is the arts program.
