I didn't get the name of the nice lady that was taken care of my family member, all my family member was doing was trying to explain to the lady what the letter was about. SO Amy came right over and started yelling "stop being rude stop been rude" with such an aggressive attitude I had to look up & say how is she being rude by her explaining what the letter was about. She was yelling , and walked back by her desk looking mean & rolling her eyes very ,very unprofessional This is really getting out of hand at this school . I will advise whoever is the head person at this school needs to look into the camera on this date and see how Amy the clerk lady was acting.

When i told the supervisors out at recess, they just brushed it off. But one time, towards the end of lunch, this kid flipped me off and then we had to go back to class. When i told my teacher, she asked, "why didn't you tell a supervisor?" I was in 4th grade, my teacher was Mrs Donna Fetta. She also confiscated my huge pencil that i had brought in as a joke and she never gave it back. The only teachers i enjoyed there was Ms Heather, Mr Wagner, and Mrs P but they don't work there anymore. The first year i was there, we had a nice firm principal that was fair and treated everyone equal. But then this guy principal came the next year, i think his name was Mr Johnson. He was horrible, he didn't do ANYTHING about the conflict happening at his school. My little brother in like 2023 when he was in 4th grade caught kids VAPING and bringing sharp objects to school and did almost absolutely nothing. I think he suspended her for like 2 days, that's it. The kids were a holes and the teachers did not care, nor did the supervisors at recess. This one supervisor was a biatch to me a lot, she had her son going to this school as well. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!! DONT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR CHILD TO HATE THEIR SCHOOL LIFE AND DREAD COMING TO SCHOOL!!!!! Shame on you, Peterson. TREAT YOUR STUDENTS LIKE HUMAN BEINGS

This school presents itself as supportive and student-centered, but my experience was the complete…read moreopposite. Instead of protecting students, certain staff members contributed to an environment where bullying and emotional abuse were ignored--or worse, encouraged. When issues were brought to the attention of teachers or administrators, they were often dismissed, minimized, or turned back on the student. Some staff spoke in demeaning, sarcastic, or intimidating ways, which made students feel unsafe and powerless. Rather than intervening, adults in authority sometimes sided with aggressors or treated students as if they were the problem for speaking up. The lack of accountability was extremely damaging. Policies against bullying seemed to exist only on paper, with little to no follow-through. Students were left feeling unheard, anxious, and afraid to attend school. A school should be a place of learning and growth, not fear. Until this institution takes real responsibility, provides proper training for staff, and genuinely listens to students, it fails to meet even the most basic standards of care and safety.

During my 3 day visit, I interacted with various students, staff, and faculty and was thoroughly impressed with how welcoming the campus was and how much everyone enjoyed being around each other. Students spoke so highly of the love and care they felt from their teachers and administrators. Faculty and staff spoke frequently about how much the team felt like a family. A few common themes among the parents I spoke with were how safe the campus was, the administration's approachability, and the absolute trust they placed in the teachers and their students. Mr. Aaron and his team have done a wonderful job creating a school environment where students can thrive, love like Jesus, and learn well, and I highly recommend this school!

The staff is truly amazing--they go above and beyond to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment. One of the things I love most is how parent involvement is not only encouraged but truly what makes the school run. The community here is strong, and it shows in the events, programs, and overall positive atmosphere. A standout for us has been the BFF program, which fosters a love for reading in such a fun and interactive way. It's one of a kind in the Huntington Beach School District and has made such a difference in my child's confidence with books! Safety and support are top priorities here, and I can say without a doubt that my child feels both every single day. We seriously debated private school, but after completing our first year in kindergarten, I can confidently say that Moffett operates at the level of a private school--with the bonus of an incredible public school community. Choosing Moffett was the best decision for our family, and we can't wait for our second child to begin his Mustang journey! If you're looking for a school that feels like home, this is it!

I totally forgot to write an review about this school…read more.. I went to this school when I was an 1st grade and I had tons (and even mean tons) of experience of going there and having fun and talking to other kids. I still shocked that I still remember the memories that I had in this school (it been 5-6 years). After all that experience is gone when I went to move to Harbor View (which that school is okay at best), I still prefer going to this school. Overall the school is kinda quiet and very very nice (yes I caught myself typing "very" twice). The teachers were outstanding at teaching and caring for other students that are needed for help and I never caught my teachers ever being mean to others. The students are... will... the same, they are very nice and caring for others and easy to make friends. The people that worked at the administration office (or the office in general), are very nice and easy to talk too (there were never strict to kids). But however if you are looking for an kid elementary school, I recommending you to pick this elementary school due to very nice environment and nice people!!! Take this freshman advice :D. 9/25/21 (P.S. Keep being successful every year and keep making this school a better place for everybody)

This is not a good school when it comes to assessment tests ( Which not simply testing whether your kids can communicate back and forth or not) for a kindergarten level. I feel like I got scam, they should have made a video to talk about the assessment tests, warnings for the parents to consider. I don't think the kids will be happy learning anything here. This place is all about money and intense competitions. The era of AI will eliminate these corrupted educations, absolutely bring no values to the kids. Parents nowadays are too busy and think paying a lot means good results.

There is one teacher for every ten kids in the classroom, allowing for individual attention. Any behavioral problems are quickly addressed and resolved in a constructive manner that equips students with tools to handle future conflicts. I hate to admit this, but when I compare the way Pegasus first graders interact during free play to the way his public school friends interact, I see a dramatic difference. Pegasus kids are problem solvers; they calm conflicts and seek solutions. Maybe it's a selection bias at the admissions level, but in the end, who cares? I'm proud of my child on the playground and of what he has learned academically. Fingers crossed this continues in his future experiences.
