Independence High

I can only speak for the Head Start/STEP program. However, what I will say is that our child started on a Thursday, and by Monday his teacher, the case manager, and Vice Principal had already decided to push our child out of the school without any prior communication with us. We feel this school is not well-equipped to handle young special education students.

Great school with a great PTA that has a lot of events to raise money for extra things at the school. My son has been here a few years and enjoys going every day.

My daughter loved going to Kindergarten and didn’t want to leave Miss Kelly and Miss Scott’s class. The teachers were so fun and loving and taught the kids with so much patience and kindness. So thankful to them for being the best teachers possible for our children.

Moorefield Station Elementary is a great school with a warm, welcoming environment. Principal Williams has really grown into her leadership role over the past few years and assembled a strong administrative team. They make an effort to be seen on rolling desks in hallways and classrooms as often as possible, speaking to children by name. Although there are quite a few new teachers, now that COVID is long gone and the transfers after the prior principal retired are over, the staff seem to be very content. The PTO has increased community involvement, especially in the past school year. There are academic and social programs offered and parents, as well as teachers, attend special programs (Bingo, Math Night, Musicals). The school now has great monthly Shark-of-the-Month assemblies which build community and celebrate student achievement. Overall, Moorefield Station is a wonderful place for young learners to thrive!

Kids bully, there are multiple school fights
