Research Chester Shell Elementary School Public Schools in Gainesville, Florida

“I am an employee at Chester Shell Elementary School. Our staff is committed in educating boys and girls. Parents must become more involved. Children are entering school not knowing how to write, most don't even know how to hold a pencil properly, They don't know the basic skills; colors, shapes, ABC's, parts of the body and more. Most chidren are not taught how to sit at a desk and learn. They have no attention span. Parents must start taking time with their children beginning at birth. Read to your children. Teach your children how to write their name.”

“This school has been a big disappointment. It is probably fine for most kids, but our first grader needs one on one learning opportunities which have not been available. The school has combined the classes 1st and 2nd grades are in the same classes therefore it makes a more difficult senario for one on one and my child is not doing well at all since she started there. I would not recommened this school if your child has any kind of learning difficulties at all!”

“Shell Elementary has a staff that works as a community. It is nestled in a small town where everyone knows eachother. This can be good and bad. It struggles with having a high percentage of students that are from low socioeconmic backgrounds. Which is a challenge for the teachers. All in all I believe that the teachers in staff have only good attentions with providing an education for the students.”
