Moore School was established in 1951. The school is located off Stratford Road near the Thruway Shopping Center on Knollwood Street.
The school board designated Moore as a countywide magnet school in 1971 and the school became known as Moore Alternative School.
As part of the county's limited school choice plan implemented in 1999, Moore maintained its countywide magnet status while acquiring a residential component. Its name was changed to Moore Magnet Elementary School and the focus was on Multiple Intelligences. In 2021, the magnet focus was changed to STEAM education to be included in the district STEM/STEAM magnet pathway. From Moore Elementary, students following the magnet pathway might attend Wiley, Hanes, or Philo-Hill magnet middle schools, followed by
North Forsyth, Atkins, or Reynolds high schools.
Moore Vision

Mission Statement
Our school strives to promote a culture of literacy and community while meeting the social, emotional, and academic needs of our students through data-driven instruction and integration of STEAM in all content areas.
We learn together, lead together, and serve together. We are Moore Together.
