"Southmoor Elementary School has been a fabulous fit for my children. They are excited to go to school and their classrooms represent the diversity we seek by attending a DPS school. Southmoor's teachers are knowledgeable, invested, and generous with their time. They want the children to succeed and they work very hard to equip the children each day. Test scores in the school are rising and you can feel a really positive energy in the building this year under the new principal. We love all of the after school enrichment classes which are offered. We have taken advantage of a lot of them."

"We're all about supporting our neighborhood school - and this one makes it easy? Why? Because the entire community supports it. As a result the administration and teachers can focus on what's most important - our kids!"

"If you want your child to have fun rather than be prepared for middle school, this is the place to send them."

"HGT program terrible in the upper grades. Most of the teachers appear to not really like their jobs - are not fun to be around. Principal is defensive on every occasion and doesn't care whether kids are happy or not and stonewalls when you question her - very poor leader."

"My family has seen such tremendous change and growth in Southmoor over the years. The school looks at every child and their individual level, and has in place opportunities for them to succeed. Whether getting extra intervention if they are behind or being challenged if they are ready for it. They look at the children's individual learning styles as well. Project based learning, maker-space, enrichment programs, great use of technology. Teachers are happy and feel empowered to shape their classroom and teaching. Principal is engaging and helpful. Wonderful community... Southmoor is a great place!"

"Southmoor Elementary is our home school. The parent community is extremely supportive. We have new leadership–our principal is amazing, motivating, transparent and collaborative. My kids love school and I love that Southmoor is focused on the whole child, inside and out."
