Gust Elementary School

I withdrew my daughter from kindergarten before the term ended. Gust has an "F" rating for special needs practices. Horrifying school with archaic teaching methodology. The principle is disturbingly inhospitable to engaged parents. There is no parent community here nor is it encouraged. Predominately low income and minority, many ESL families. They are more vulnerable and the principal capitalizes on this. Yikes!

This is my sons first year at Gust and I couldn't be more please with the staff. My son has trust issues from past schools and Gust has done an amazing job helping him this year. My issue is student behavior. I'm retired military and have been in male dominate units but I have never heard or seen such lack of respect and such profanity laced mouths in my life! I mean, I've seen kids hit their parents and cuss at them when getting picked up. I don't know if it's just the area but this isn't something I want my child picking up.

This school is great! THE BEST SCHOOL EVAHHHHHHH! ( Excuse my language!) My daughter went to school there. It made a huge difference. Before she was going to Goldrick and she was getting terrible grades. She said that they would watch movies all the time at Goldrick. Now she has improved in so many skills. She had never been in GT before and now she is excelling in GT. When she was there at Gust she had an awesome time. She made great friends there and her teaches especially Mrs. Nguyen.

My daughter is going through a transition from montessori schooling to a normal elementary school system and she is still abit behind, but her 1st grade teacher Mrs.Santos is doing a wonderful job bringing her up to grade level!... I feel like they actually try to work with my daughter in the best way possible for her to successfully succed academically wise and everyday I see more and more of an improvement in my childs education I love seeing this change in such little time and my daughter actually enjoying going to school every day thank you all very much for the support and patience and im looking forward to a GREAT school year, goooooo tigers!!!!!!
