Gillespie Park Elementary School

I previously worked at Foust and, unfortunately, found the experience deeply concerning. Staff morale was notably low, and there was a general lack of support and respect both among colleagues and between staff and students. Leadership appeared disconnected from the student body, often unaware of individual children's needs or even their names.One incident that stood out involved a student who experienced a personal accident and was not provided any assistance by the administration. The child remained in soiled clothing for the remainder of the day, which I believe reflected a lack of empathy and proper protocols.The overall environment was marked by staff burnout, which negatively impacted both instruction and student engagement. Additionally, the curriculum did not align well with age-appropriate standards and was not effectively designed to promote learning and development.Based on my experience, I would recommend exploring alternative educational options that prioritize student wellbeing and a supportive school culture.

I absolutely love this school. I have been a parent of this school for 8 years. My son graduated 5. Th grade there in 2011. And my daughter will this school year. Wiley is a great school, with excellent Administrators, and a wonderful Faculty & staff. Wiley has an open door policy, Ms.Fields is always helpful,caring, and willing to listen to and resolve issues immediately. They always encourage parental involvement and incorporate ways to get parents involved. The teachers are Very Hard Working, caring and nurturing. (made me feel real good for my child to come home and say "my teacher loves me", or when I see that she has written across her notebook "I love Ms. ---" Whom of which is not even her teacher, but another teacher within the school. Needless to say, she feels the love, and I see and feel it when I'm throughout the school as well. I also love Wiley because they've always been very family oriented, very resourceful, offer many things to families(fun, instructional nights, parent store, weekend food backpacks, clothing, toiletries, just to name a few. I could really go on and on about some of the great things about Wiley, but I will stop here; if any doubt or ever just in the area and want to stop by, you will see that Wiley is an excellent school, with an excellent faculty and staff ,enriching the Minds of some excellent students.
