I would not recommend Mossdale Elementary School to any parent who actually cares about their child’s well-being. From what I’ve seen, too many of the adults here act like the students are an afterthought instead of the priority. There’s a serious lack of care, communication, and accountability, and it shows in how students are treated on a daily basis.The food situation is honestly unacceptable. The meals served are low quality, unappetizing, and clearly not something most kids want to eat. For a school, where nutrition plays such an important role in a child’s day, this should be taken much more seriously—but it doesn’t seem like anyone in charge is paying attention.What’s even more disturbing is the social environment. There are ongoing issues with exclusion, favoritism, and unfair treatment, and it feels like certain students—especially Black students—are treated differently. Instead of stepping in and addressing these problems, the staff seems to ignore them or downplay what’s happening. That kind of environment can have a lasting negative impact on kids.Overall, this school has a lot of work to do. Students deserve to feel supported, respected, and safe, and right now that doesn’t seem to be the case here. Until there are real changes in staff accountability, student support, and overall culture, I would strongly advise parents to think twice before enrolling their children here. Poor school.

This school is awesome! I have been enrolled for 4 years and I am proud to be a part of Class of 2026!
