Moss Haven Elementary School

Great experience with LH schools so far

Overall, it has been a positive experience. The parent involvement is very high and the teachers really do love their students. It was great to see school spirit and tradition flourish in many areas of the school as well. I believe that experiences will vary among different grade levels. My daughter had a wonderful experience growing socially, emotionally and academically in the younger grade. However, in the older grades, I was disappointed by the emphasis of worksheets and homework. It did not benefit her as she is a hands-on learner. It is also evident that research proves that these tools do not enhance student improvement. Another issue we experienced in the older grades dealt with bullying. There needs to be a strong emphasis on improving mental health curriculum for the older grades as they are preparing to transition to middle school. There were times when the bullying was not reported to us right away although that is RISD protocol. I am hoping that the transition towards being a PBIS school will help eliminate these issues in the future.

My son has a great experience being in this awesome school.

My son is doing great in this school and the neighborhood support for MHE is amazing!
