The worst part of Moorefield High School is I felt it did not fully prepare me for college. There were a few classes I did not learn much in, but that is the worst part of the school. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and kind. The school has much diversity, so everyone has a place there.

I enjoyed my experience at Moorefield High School. I played football and ran track while in high school and that made school more fun than it would have been if i did not play sports. Most of the teachers do a good job, I took three AP classes throughout high school and I graduated with a cumulative GPA of 4.09. The building is nice, it was just remodeled and is cleaned very well. The lunches are about as goof as they can be for school lunch, the cooks do a great job.

I very much enjoy MHS because I feel we have a very good learning environment. We just got a brand new facility. Our athletic teams are always performing at their best and mostly end up going very far. I love going to Moorefield High because it is a good way to be with friends while still academically doing my best.

Seniors that have classes setting them up for failure; and when they try to get that changed, theres nothing they can do for them. The school itself isn't w...
