Teachers are completely invested in the students. All schools have problems now and then and middle school is a very difficult age for parents and teachers. One thing you have to realize as a parent that this is NOT elementary school. Having more than one child go through this school, we have been very happy with the way things have been handled in varying situations. Close Quote

Prince George has great schools unfortunately Moore isn't one of them. They are good academically but we have had nothing but problems when it comes to things such as bullying & when it's brought to the schools attention they refuse to acknowledge it's happening. I just get oh that can never happen at our school. I talked to someone at a local mental hospital & was told that they have more children comes in from Moore than from any other school. That should say something Close Quote
