We moved to this school a few years ago and it has been a great experience. I now have multiple kids going through Marvin Moss, and all their teachers are great!

The school is in a very nice area.
However, it does not compensate for the way I have been treated by the staff at this school.
I am a young parent, and this is my childs first year attending this school, from another school. The front staff treats me like I am incompetent when I ask for help with something, and they are VERY rude when they talk to me.
Its really not hard to treat others with respect.

We've had two teachers now, both have been fantastic! My daughter also sees their speech therapist who is amazing! My daughter loves the music program and is always coming home telling me what she is learning, singing and tapping out rhythms on things. We love Marvin Moss so much.

Not even close. My granddaughter still worries about going to school. She is defeated from the girl that called her racial slurs. The other girl should have been segregated, not my granddaughter. Bullying and racism are allowed to happen here.

Worst school I have ever come across.

Again, the bullying issue and Riordan inability to handle it.
Posted: December 18, 2018
Riordan needs to learn how to handle bullying effectively. Contracts are not punishment. My granddaughter deserves better protection than a contract and segregation. Being called racial slurs is unacceptable.

Lack of communication. Last years teacher had a substitute at least one day per week; never worked a full week all school year.

Principal is unfriendly and unapproachable. Suspension is her go to.

Horrible- been dealing with this school for 3 1/2 years. On wait lists to get into charter schools.

My son has gone here for 2 years now, currently in the 1st grade. The teachers are amazing. He learns at a faster pace and they have accommodated this for him with out making him an outcast.

Teachers are fine. The down side, my daughter is bussed to this school even though there is an elementary school across the street from me. That would be fine if they had before school care for those of us who have to be at work by 7 am. Sparks park and rec runs a program at the school stating at 7am that is frequently full and we are turned away and I have to call out from work (wondering how long i'm going to keep my job at this point). The only other daycare that transports is Kindercare and they charge $150 a week. Thats insane for before and after school care!! Especially when my other child is $110 a week for comparable (even better) child care. I'm very frustrated by this. Half my income is spent trying to get my kids to and from school.

My kids have all gone to this school, 11 years I have been here and have about 8 more to go. I have been pleased with EVERY teacher that my kids have had. The new principal Mrs. Christiansen is absolutely wonderful. Keep up the good work Moss staff.
