Mossdale

My son attended Lathrop Elementary from Kindergarten and just graduated from 8th grade this past year. I believe that he received the ethics and stability in his student career today from the staff and faculty at Lathrop School. I absolutely adore the principal and office staff who genuinely care about the kids there. My son had some amazing teachers who have left an imprint on his life forever and helped me in guiding him in the right direction, Mrs. Hopper, Ms. Swanson, Mr. Dalisay - We will remember you always!

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.

Would not recommend. They kept giving me homework even though I clearly didn’t ask for it. The teachers expected me to remember things from last week, and apparently ‘I forgot’ isn’t a valid excuse. Lunch disappeared in 5 minutes, and the alarm clock became my biggest enemy. The only good thing was seeing my friends. Overall, 12 years of tutorials with mandatory attendance.

Epic academy in River islands is a great school, my daughter likes it a lot says better than Cupertino school she went
