Moscow Middle School has really friendly staff and fellow students! I made a friend almost immediately on the first day. The numerous elective options are great! Kids appeal to many different electives, so it's a good idea to set them out there. I think the teaching methods could be different, though. There are some teachers that are very explicit, which are the ones kids look forward to everyday. There are also the teachers who come to school everyday just for the paycheck, don't teach very well, and leave kids in dread and confusion. I also think the extracurricular activities are lacking a bit. The kids don't get noticed for good grades or outstanding behavior. I suggest this because it motivates the students to improve academically and behavior wise. If you're unsure of whether or not to enroll your child in this school, I say give it a try. Make sure your child likes his or her classes, and always make sure to know exactly what's going on.

My child attended this school for three years and it is ok overall. Not great and not horrible either. They have a few teachers who are only there for the paycheck & create a negative atmosphere for students, but they also have a few great teachers. The rest are average. The grading practices and expectations vary widely from one teacher to the next which makes it difficult for students. Teacher communication with parents is practically non-existent. It's totally up to the parents to contact teachers. There are lots of elective opportunities for kids, but not too many clubs---or at least they aren't publicized much if they have them. If you're considering this school for your child, talk to other parents and find out which teachers to avoid, and be prepared to advocate for your child & be highly involved in what's going on with your child's education.
