Ford Avenue Elementary School

My son was bullied at moss school repeatedly throughout the year. We took all of the reasonable steps, such as speaking with the teacher first on multiple occasions, which never seemed to help. The day I had finally reached my breaking point, was when I picked my son up from school one day and he had a look of complete terror on his face.....I had never seen him so afraid. His knee was scraped and bleeding, he had been pushed and threatened. From this point on, the school opened a "bullying" investigation (which was a complete joke), but nothing really came of it. This school does not take bullying seriously, so be careful if you ever find yourself in a similar situation. 2 other parents in my son's class also pulled their children from this school midway through the school year because of the same 2 children in the class that were negatively affecting their children. They also tried getting help from Moss, to no avail. We moved so that my son would not have to continue in this school district.

The last time I wrote a review, this website deleted my comment. Clearly I am not a liar because other reviews have matched my experience at this terrible school! This is not a good school at all. There are many students at my son's current school whose parents have transferred them out of St. James due to its terrible treatment of students and parents. I do not recommend this school at all. The 5th grade teacher bullied my son and told me, to my face that he did not belong there. The principal at the time did not do anything to rectify the issue. The priest was no help at all. There is a new 5th grader at my son's school whose mom removed him from St. James because he did not want to enter her class his 5th grade year! No student should be fearful of a teacher. Complaints are constantly ignored, which is not fair because we are paying for our kids education! Do not waste your time with this school.
