We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at moss point high school was a real roller coaster, from my mom suffering from three strokes causing her to be placed in a nursing home to Me creating life-long memories with friends. My first year in high school was where I had most of my fun classes with friends and joining njrotc. My second and third year I was more serious because of what was occurring at home. And last my senior year was a combination of both fun and serious.

The teachers really take a personal interest in each and every student. Their concern about your education is evident. They really have your best interests at heart.

I went to moss point High and this school is terrible. The teachers do not care, they use bad language around the students, they can't control the kids and they get too friendly with them. Football is all they care about and by the way they don't do so hot anyways, they lose about 95% of their games...

This is school is horrible. They should have shut it down. Some of the teachers do not care about the bullying and misbehaving. They do not teach you well enough if you need help in a subject to them it's like an "oh well" it's mostly a segregated school anyway. They basically pass you if you show u...
