    My Kindergartener goes here and he is continually involved in some type of violent activity with other students. The school nurse has called me like three times to report him being bitten bumped hit etc.. The school really has an amazing legacy but failing grades in the CSAP and TCAP scores. I want to switch to Bromwell next year if possible.. or Teller.. Oh and the place is not safe in the mornings inadequate staff on the playground.

    I love it at Dora Moore school. There is a new era of parent evolvement coupled with great administration and teaching. This is a great urban school.

    Moore is an excellent school with amazing educators. The diversity celebrated at this school is what sets it apart from the rest.

    I was saddened by the lack of parental involvement and absence of a community feeling to this school. The middle school children add a dynamic that doesnt fit with the elemetary side of things. I wondered some days if I was doing more harm than good sending my child into that enviroment he came home very discouraged and deflated some days.
