      I think I have had a pretty good experience at Moreau. I have met many wonderful people here who are my friends. Some of the teachers that I got were either really bad or excellent. For some teachers, I felt really confident in the class and they were there to support me while others didn't really do a good job at teaching. It's an ok school for school culture where some people participate in school spirit while others don't. The food is really expensive and it's not even worth the money but sometimes it can be good. It does prepare you for college and as long as you take the classes that you want and get the right teachers, this school can be on the best!
      I am a parent of a Moreau graduate, current senior and a freshman. I normally don't write reviews like this, but felt compelled after seeing how they have handled the distance learning necessitated by COVID19. Both of my students have been engaged the entire time. The school was very organized with their plan, the teachers have provided rigorous curriculum while at the same time being understanding of individual students' circumstances. The administration and counselors have had great communication with the parents and have been willing to hear our concerns and adapt based upon them.

      I am hoping students will be able to go back to in-person learning in the fall, because that is where Moreau excells. I am not going to say it is perfect, nothing ever is, but my students have had an amazing experience. There is a great sense of community. My kids have had some amazing teachers who really care for the students personal and academic growth.
