Charles A Gill Elementary School

All I know principle is had two face to students and staffs. I would not recommend to for who expect children grow in good environment and social. Also major problem is Principle is not great leader for planning ed process and support staff. Often Principle drove staff out that they are very skillful, connection to children's needs and etc. And Principle don't know how to understand what children's needs instead Principle have heavy favor on children and staff. If staff went to wrong something then Principle will find way to fired staff. I wont sent my children to this elementary because of principle and her toxic.

Literally the reason for online schools. 0/10 if I could rate it that way.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this needs to be said.My minor child was wrongfully accused after a teacher misheard a statement and chose to act on assumption instead of fact. Because of that, my child was pulled, questioned, searched, and forced to write a statement all without my knowledge or consent.Let me be very clear: I was not contacted until after the school had already completed their investigation. At no point was I given the opportunity to be present while my child was being questioned or searched. That is completely unacceptable.What makes this worse is that once it was clear this situation was based on a misunderstanding, no apology was given to my child. Instead, he was told to “be mindful of what he says,” even though he said nothing wrong. The issue was not my child — it was a staff member who acted on what they thought they heard and failed to verify before escalating.There was no accountability on the school’s end. None. When I addressed this with administration, my concerns were dismissed and minimized as me simply “advocating” for my child. No ! this is about how quickly a child can be treated like a problem based on an adult’s mistake, and how little responsibility is taken when they get it wrong.Parents, please pay attention. If this can happen over something that was misheard, imagine how other situations are handled behind closed doors. Your child can be questioned, searched, and put in a serious situation without you even knowing until it’s already done.Based on my experience, I would not recommend this school. Do your research and ask hard questions before trusting them with your child.

I have been a parent at kiest since 2012 when my oldest son started kindergarten. The staff and principal turnover rate was ridiculous !!! For the last 4 years the principal Mr. Rubio has kept this school well functioned and is there for parents at all times! He truly cares for the students! I am so pleased to finally have someone who has picked up all the broken pieces left behind ! He is doing such a great job at kiest elementary !
