Bernhard Moos Elementary School, a red brick example of Gothic architecture, was first established in 1893 at 1711 N. California Avenue. The school was named after Bernhard Moos, a German immigrant who served on the Public Library's board of directors in Chicago.
Moos Elementary includes pre-kindergarten through eighth grade and enrolls 439 students who enjoy an average student-to-teacher ratio of 11-to-1. 11 percent of Moos Elementary students test at or above required proficiency levels in math and 17 percent test at or above required proficiency levels in reading and language arts.
Teachers employ an inclusion method to successfully engage students from differing academic backgrounds. In an inclusive classroom, students are broken into smaller groups and instruction varies depending on the learning needs of each group.
Home to great team spirit, Moos Elementary school colors are gold and burgundy and Moo's "Hype" and "Cheerleading" squads enthusiastically root for the "cows" to come home with a victory. Athletics offered at Moos include flag football, soccer, basketball, floor hockey, track and volleyball.
Extracurricular activities at Moos highlight students' creative interests in band, piano, ukulele and the mural club.
A vibrant community, Moos Elementary students passionately prepare for their futures in a loving and supportive environment.

My son has been accepted into the pre-school program, and thus far, this has been a terrible experience.

Moos has been a wonderful community for my children. There are many families who have gone to this school multiple generations, and many teachers who send their children to this school (even if they work at other schools).
