Lawton M. Chiles Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-05-15 “If your child is a special needs child please do not send your child to this school. The school just does not have the resources to help your child and will care less about helping them. But if your child just needs general education this is a good school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-05-20 “Nice school, great public education.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-02-10 “I had a 5th grader at Chiles when we first moved to Gainesville and I was very impressed with the teamwork between the teachers. They did a good job of preparing my child for middle school. Later, my second child entered kindergarten and is now in second grade. He has not done as well since he is not very conformist. Although there are some good teachers there, everything seemed to be geared toward preparing for the FCAT. Also, it is a disappointment that the gifted program is such a small amount of time and enrichment only rather than acceleration.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-01-18 “Wonderful school! Highly recommend.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-05-28 “All 'specials' - Art, Music, Computers, Library, PE - 45 minutes/week.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-05-03 “This school doesn't care much about the needs of special needs children. The administration support is limited in this area. It is a great school for general education children, but if your child has a problem area, watch out!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-11-05 “I want to say I too am a proud Lawton Chiles parent. I have a 1st grader and a Pre-K student there and I could not ask for a better school. The staff is friendly and concerned about my children and about the family. I hope we never have to leave Chiles. Thanks to the faculty and staff you all are the best Alachua county has to offer.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2003-07-11 “I have 2 grown children and now one in the 2nd grade. Over the years I have been through alot of schools/teachers/principals. I am proud to say that Lawton Chiles Elementary School has met my every expectation in providing the best education, including a loving and caring environment, to my child. Thank you Lawton Chiles. Especially Ann, the Principal and Jill West, 1st grade teacher.”
