"We moved from Florida 3 months before school finished. My 2 kids atended to Southmoor, and they both loved the school, made friends really quick and though the teachers were the best ever. They learned a lot of new things. I have had myself a good experience with the office, they have been very helpful every time I have had to go there. Everything has been wonderful as of experience this year."

"the last post says it all, the other negative post in 2012 were removed. Why, we are in US and should be able to state negative comments."

"I posted a one star review of this school earlier in 2012, agreeing with yet another one star parent rating. Ironically , BOTH OF THESE HONEST AND CANDID REVIEWS HAVE DISSAPEARED FROM THIS WEBSITE! What is up with that ? Not a great school. There are many unhappy parents looking for alternative schools and it would seem we are not being given an opportunity to genuinely warn other parents! No strength in the new leadership. The leadership seems mostly concerned with test scores...not with giving our children a strong general education. Teaching to the test is commonplace, in fact the principle discussed bringing in tutors to raise test scores in science the week before the CSAP tests, rather than demanding the teachers actually TEACH science more effectively during the school year! I don't get it! Time and effort is taken away from reading and math so that the younger kids can "practice testing"! I find this absolutely unaccepable. Many nice teachers, but many are not truly strong teachers, and they are not getting guidance they need from the principle."

"Overcrowding is the only issue at Southmoor due to it's popularity. Now that they are restricting enrollments the overcrowding shouldn't be an issue. You just won't be able to choice into this school and need to be living in Southmoor. The school is overcrowded and popular for a reason.....it is a great school!"

"One of the best and brightest elementary school in DPS. All of the classes are full because of this, even the highly gifted progam that is in the trailers. The teachers are hard working and dedicated to the kids. A great, diverse population. The new principal comes with great creditals . It is so hard to ask for more in these day when all schools are asked to cut things to the bare bones. My kids thrived at this school."
