“We love Moss Haven! It is an exceptional school in a wonderful neighborhood. I currently have 2 children that attend Moss Haven and I am so impressed with the way the teachers meet each child where they are and make sure they get the instruction they need...be it gifted or challenged. We enjoy the mulit-age classroom, I see that it provides the children in the older grade a great opportunity to be leaders and help the younger students. All of our teachers are certified to teach Gifted & Talented students, and they bring those teaching/learning atributes to all the students to give them the best experience possible. Our parent involvement at MHE is outstanding...we work hard to help out, and have a lot of fun too.”

“Mosshaven Elementary is an extraordinary school in many ways. Academically, it meets the needs of all its students, be they gifted or challenged with great in-house programs in place so that all students can succeed. The sense of community within the school spreads across all socio-economic levels and the feeling of inclusion and protection of all students is something that is very special to Mosshaven. The PTA is exemplary in this school and supports the school both financialy and with volunteer hours and the school administration encourages parent involvement and is always open to all communication. My child has thrived academically at Mosshaven but I am most proud of the emphasis that is placed on being caring, nurturing and responsible members of their community and teaching all students to be 'Good Citizens'.”

“Our MHE experience has been incredible! Both my children have previously attended private schools and the quality of the teachers and curriculum at MHE is as strong or better. My children participate in accelerated math and reading programs as well as in the gifted and talented program (G/T). One great feature about Moss Haven is that their G/T program is taught onsight - students do not have to commute to attend and those same instructors (who are trained in G/T) teach their regular classes. This allows them participate in expanded learning whenever appropriate in all subjects with teachers who understand their needs. The PTA funds reading specialists to focus on students who need additional help, so MHE supports students on both ends of the spectrum. With over $100,000 in annual support from the PTA, MHE makes sure that ALL children get the education they need in a loving environment!”

“Moss Haven Elementary is top notch. It is one of the finest elementary schools in Dallas, public or private. We have two children and have experienced the private school world and Moss Haven far exceeds the expectations that we had when we moved our children into the school district. The teachers and the administrators know the students and not one single student is overlooked. It is a very warm, nurturing environment. The parent involvement is fantastic. The amount of money the PTA raises each year is unheard of in a public school setting. The academic programs are super. Moss Haven is a wonderful place. I would highly recommend this school to anyone. You can search all over and I truly believe you will not find another school as great as Moss Haven.”

“Moss Haven is truly a gem. Our kindergartener has thrived at this school. It has amazing parent involvement, talented teachers, and great leadership. Fundraising is on par with much wealthier schools in the Park Cities. If you have concerns about the school, or you are considering private school, please come and take a tour. You will find a warm, close-knit community that celebrates academic achievement.”

“Moss Haven has been a great school for our child and we look forward to our second child starting there this year. The parent involvement is very high through the PTA and new Dad's Club. The two grade together system (1 & 2 grade together, then 3 & 4 grade together, and then 5 & 6 grade together) has worked very well for our first child and we feel it will work well for our second child as well. The PTA is very strong in this school. Overall a greate school!”

“The parent involvement is high here but teacher quality is a concern as well as the blended classes. that does not work for many children - esp. boys or those with learning differences. too much distraction for them I think.”

“Moss Haven Elementary appears to addressing my son's curicular needs. He is achieving and improving in Math, Reading and some difficulty with writing. Parent involvement is good but away from school extracurricular activities are the parents and kids responsibility to arrange. The teachers are adequate.”
