My child was enrolled last year at Morehead. My experience was very negative. The teacher was inadequate...they did not want to be there and it reflected their classroom performance. The staff was not inviting when I tried to voluntary at my child's school or visit. The PTA was non existing because

Although the school as a whole is not where I would like them... my child's classroom teacher is exceptional and out weighs the negative factors. Read less

My daughter has been at Morehead since her 1st grade year. I must say how dissappointed I was at how the teachers response to parent inquires has not been effective. My daughter talks about how the principle has no compassion for the students at all. She is very unhappy and I must say so am I. The teachers

I cannot give Morehead the seal of approval because I have not seen anything to be happy of to motivate the parents or students. My child has had to deal with bullying on the buses. She has be verbally abused by other children. The response was not in a timely manner. Morehead needs to get it together! Read less

We feel fortunate that our 2 sons have had some of the best teachers at Morehead. We have been pleased with their level of commitment as teachers to bring out the best in each student.

I have an older daughter that attended this school last year and is now in middle school this year. Prior to that,she was on the A/B honor roll for each of the three years she attended this school. Her teachers were very consistent as far as reporting her progress and responding to concerns that I might

The teachers are very dedicated and committed to their jobs and have kept my attitude of my children's education very positive. I now have two more children that will be attending this year and next due to the hard work of the principal that assisted me in a transferring problem I had with my newly enrolled Kindergartener. The office secretary that took my message for the pricipal was very understanding and knowledgable after hearing my problem and delivered my message with such promptness,I was blown away. I am the least worried about my children's safety and know that they are in great hands.There is no doubt in my mind that the decision I made to keep all of my children at this school was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I'd like to congratulate the staff of Morehead Elementary for such a commendable job. Thank you and keep up the good work! Read less

I have 4 children in this school and last year I had a total of 5. I am very disappointed with the safety and discipline this school provides. Last year my son had a big problem with being harassed in the class room. He had an excellent teacher, but the children that were doing the harassing,

One of his best friends was pulled out of school because of the harassment and the ability or lack there of, of the principle to put a stop to it. Another applied to a different school. For the same reasons. Their teacher who was tired of all this, resigned and went to a private school because of this problem. This year, there is the same problem with a child in my daughter s class room. This 5th grader is very violent and has physically and verbally hurt a few children, including my daughter. I have wrote to the principle and the assistant principle about this problem and nothing much has been done. I don't know if other parents have any idea how much our children are put in this kind of danger by returning these violent and harassing children to our public schools. I will make it my goal, to inform as many parents of what happens in this school. Please help me to change this kind of tolerance towards the harassing children. Thank you, Rena Crews Read less
