This school does not communicate with students or parents. They lie about what they care about, for example; Mental Health. I know a student who wants out of a class because a teacher is rude to them, rules them out of things, and this said student has severe social anxiety (an anxiety disorder). This student requested out of this class the school said “No.” and reasoned why. “We made it clear this was a year around class.” And despite telling the school personally asking what they why could do to improve the students mental health, (which was noticeably getting worse Worse grades, acting different etc) The school still said no most likely because, They don’t actually care for their students. Sending your kid here could make this happen to them too.

A great culture being ruined by a new principal who seems intent on flexing his muscles. Amy Oakes (who left in 2021) set up an incredible culture of trust and "family" It is totally being ruined by this new principal, who's only been in place a few months. The kids are no longer allowed to be on campus during breaks (can't even go the library without a pass!), forcing kids off campus. What are they supposed to do in the winter? His draconian and unwarranted new policies (without any parent input) will destroy the culture of this schoolThank god my child is a senior - otherwise we would move schools. The new principal even showed up at local restaurants to make a big show of "being in charge' if the kids (who were quietly eating lunch "made problems". He needs to put his ego in his pocket and think about servant leadership that made this school culture great.Please treat this kids as adults and with respect. The condescending attitude towards the students is really not the Littleton spirirt

I love Ralph Moody Elementary School! As a former public school teacher, I am pretty astute at observing and recognizing a high quality school. Ralph Moody is excellent because of its outstanding leadership throughout. The principal is extremely knowledgable and human and I can tell that the teachers love and respect him. The teachers are beyond fantastic! They are experienced (many have 20 or more years of experience) and have been teaching at Ralph Moody for several years. They do an exceptional job of making all of the students feel welcome and cared for without catering to the students or the parents. Moody has a strong PTO and many parents volunteer. Both of my children attend Moody and they are both advanced at reading and math. Moody has a lot of factors affecting its overall school test scores that lead to a skewed perception of student performance. For one, Moody has diverse demographics. Everyone is treated as equal and with the utmost care and respect. This is a huge lesson in ethics and morals for children. I am so grateful that my children are able to attend a school that has a well-balanced learning curriculum on so many levels.

Great school! Teachers and administration are wonderful, and facilities are very nice! One of the few schools in the Denver Metro offering Orton Gillingham which makes it really stand out. The teachers, principal and all the staff supporting have gone above and beyond with our children. We feel blessed to be at this school!
