Moon Senior High School

There needs to be some serious change to this school. I certainly never plan on returning to this district, and I'm sure a lot of other students don't want to either. Overall, the administration is messed up, they emphasize controversial topics but don't implement any sort of plan to fix it, and is full of idle stand-offish teachers and people in general who don't care to change it for the better.

This school is the best in the area, no question. With the new campus built and the great staff members, this school is just well rounded and amazing. I am a sophomore and I have been going to Moon my whole life and I am proud to say so.

The middle school and high school facilities look great, especially the high school auditorium. The school seems to have a good arts budget. Which is a good thing, because the school can't do anything else better. Overall, what a waste of my years. I never fit into this school socially, and the school has done POORLY at handling bullying, even with the new Olweus program. The school lunches have never been very good. In the high school, they aren't as bad, but they're still mediocre. You may then ask, "Well what about the teaching staff?" There are a select few teachers that are outstanding, and others that are decent. The majority are poor. I never knew there could be so many teachers in one building that can't teach well at all. And most of them don't help out well with bullying either. This place is a WASTE of tax dollars, and all the parents thinking that this school offers a "quality education" are HUGELY mistaken. Avoid Moon; there are plenty of better schools around (i.e Quaker Valley, USC, Mt. Lebanon, South Fayette...). And the senior projects are a waste. Why focus on senior projects when you can focus on BETTER TEACHING SO WE DO BETTER IN COLLEGE/REAL WORLD?

I stayed in Moon Twp., in spite of the high taxes, because the school is basically a good one. On the plus side, colleges seem to accept these students readily. The teaching staff is extremely supportive. The sports programs are top-notch. There is a lot of new technology available to the students. However, there are some issues. The old principal did not do anything to help students who didn't "fit in the box." The new principal has promised more than he has delivered so far. I have tried to be an involved parent, but I have not gotten a lot of help from the administration. I have heard the same thing from other parents whose kids aren't the "cookie cutter" students. The curriculum does need to be updated; the most recent updates have been piecemeal. All in all, it is a decent school, but there are some things that need to be improved.
