A COMPLETELY TERRIBLE SCHOOL/DISTRICT!!!! There is SERIOUS RACISM and DISCRIMINATION that is rampant and not even Acknowledged by the school district/staff, the fact that it’s not even addressed makes it worse. My daughters ages 7 and 5 had previously been wonderful students that were always so exci
Posted by a parent on 2/9/2023Terrible school. Racism is rampant and not even recognized by staff or addressed. Just moved here with my daughter and grandson. He had previously been an outstanding student that looked forward to school until he enrolled at Gates. Now he simply DREADS attending! Am angry and disappointed in this s
Posted by a parent on 12/29/2022Let me start by saying that my son went her from kinder thru 5th grade. He had great teachers every year, but it also has to do with you as a parent to help your child get thru the school year. There are always going to be distractions and some of the staff that is not so great. I do
Posted by a parent on 5/14/2016The Teachers truly care about the welfare of the students. They listen and hear what the students are saying - allowing the Teachers to better educate the students. Whenever I'm volunteering at the school I see nothing but smiling faces and bright eyes
Posted by a community member on 2/26/2016I don't know how the school is now but when I went there, in the late 80's early 90's, it was one the best experiences a kid could have. I'm sure most of my teachers have retired but I do miss them, especially Mrs. Osborne, wonderful woman who cared deeply about each and every student. If the teache

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child has been being bullied and nothing has been done. My child has had a bully who kept coming on to her stomped out her shoes physically touched herultiple times and because the little girl is slow my daughter has to allow it. They have a new principal who doesn't have empathy for younger students or understands that young kids can be bullies as well. My daughter has been being bullied by the same student for over 1 year and a half now with no solution I reached out to multiple superintendents and they just pass it along to the next one and the boss told the new principal that I should move my daughter to another district. Bring back adults who care for all kids. Please do not send your child here especially if they are mixed race they are allowed to be racially profiled by students and harassed.Parent Review8mo ago - Rose E Krug Elementary School
