Coral Gables Elementary School Reviews

 
This is the best school in Dade County. It is unfortunate that there aren't more schools like it.

We are very happy with the school in all aspects.

This school is perfect! Great teachers, staff, afterschool activities. My son can't wait until next year for first grade. He wants Mrs. Ablanedo. Playing favorites, somethings never change!

the teachers are the best .Ms.wolf and Ms.garcia are excellent

all the teachers are very good... especially ms.garcia and ms.piedra

CGE has wonderful teachers who take an interest in the child as an individual. As a retired school administrator in another state, I have found my granddaughter's second grade teacher, Mrs. Torres, to be all that a parent or grandparent could ask in regards to the caring and academic environment. We did find, however, that the principal needs to give a more timely response to attempts to reach her. Office staff are friendly and helpful. Some of the cafeteria staff do not reflect a caring, helpful attitude toward students and need to be reassigned or replaced.

This is a nice school in an excellent location. CGE has a very poor after school program. The children have to be taken to the Gables Youth Center for the after school programs. Yes, the language program is extremely poor. After three years here I have notice that my son's Spanish has not improved. Some parents have enrolled their children in private lessons. Yes, CGE is part of the 'school of choice' but it is not a given that your child will enter the language program in these other two schools. There is a long waiting list to enter these language programs. It is sad to know that we have over 60 nationalities in the Gables but not language program in our neighborhood school. Last but not least the school has no fencing around the premise which leads to a lax security. Otherwise it is a 'great school'.

CGE is part of a 'school of choice' program, meaning you get to choose between 3 schools depending on your child's goals. CGE has a full time gifted program which is why I chose this school. Both of my kids (1 has graduated and 1 is still there) have had a very high quality education. The other 2 schools of choice have language programs so if that is your focal point, then please don't put down this school. All schools can't be everything, but this is a great 'well rounded' school. My child who graduated attends a nationally recognized college prep (private) school and the knowledge received at CGE more than prepared him.

Since coming here four years ago, I find that this school is not what it used to be at all. Until the staff infrastructure is back to its usually high, pleasant standards, I would think twice about putting my kids in a great school turned upside down. 3.2stars

Coral Gables Elementary is an excellent school with very involved parents. It is one of the best public elementaries in South Florida.

This is a great school with great staff. I also have to say that the parent involvement makes this school high quality. I just wish it were more secure since it has too many open environments

This is my first year at the school, my kids are in pre-school and 2nd grade and the teachers have been great as well as the principal and VP and staff as a whole. Very friendly and concerned for the education of our children and emphasize importance of parent involvement. I do think they need much more emphasis on the Arts since I think their art classes are not up to par. I also wish they would have permanent bilingual curriculum. Most of the kids would be able to learn both languages but they need more strict classes and probably daily (Spanish) for the kids to get a strong base (grammar/ phonetics) at an early age which is so important in the learning of a second language and would be a big asset for their lives.

Coral Gables Elementary is one of the best elementary schools in Miami dade. The teachers are very commited to the students and take really seriously the education of your children.

High academic expectations, and great teachers to provide it. Principal leadership is outstanding. Always ready to help parents and students alike.

The school is very good as far as quality of academics is concerned. The administration and staff members are highly responsive to parents needs. While it ranks high in academics I found that it is low in extracurricular activities but can be sought externally. Parents involvement is up to the parents. The availability is there.

I have 2 children who have attended coral gables elem since kindegarten. The staff is very caring and concerned but just like most public shcools it is too crowded. The staff is excellent. The education is superior. They both graduate this year (2005) from the 5th grade. They have been a A++ school for years.

Coral Gables Elementary is an exceptional school, with exceptional teachers. There are several programs which have shown well worth the funds, such as the violin program and the geography bee. The teachers are well-qualified, warm and caring, and that is probably the one most significant factor to for making it such an excellent school.

This school has a wonderful PTA. Parents are very involved with the school, the school have a wonderful reading program. Children are been tested I believe every week based on their readings. They also have a gifted program from 1st grade to 5th grade. It has been a grade A school for 4 years in a row. The school is in a good neighborhood and in a good environment. Coral Gables has an after school program and the teachers a very caring. I don't think the school has extracurricular activities like ballet or karate classes. But part of their curriculum music and art is included for all students. The preschool teacher Mrs. Walker has a good reputation of being a wonderful teacher because she has been there for so many years. Wonderful teacher in so many ways, her method of teaching and her personality that is so caring towards the students.

This is an excellent school. It is an A+ school for years and it is a blue ribbon winner. Parents at this school are very involved and there is also a great music program now.

My son has been at Coral Gables Elementary from Kinder-5th grade. I wish there was a 6th grade The teachers and staff are very attentive. There are many activities that are lots of fun. Like the Haloween Carnival and the Nutcraker Play the 5th graders put together. There are academic programs and clubs the kids can join. Parental involvement is secret to this schools success.

When we moved to Florida we had not heard good things about the schools. Our concerns were put to rest when we first entered Coral Gables Elementary. We have been very happy with CGE and my son's first grade teacher is excellent! He has come a long way under her instruction and encouragement. She is wonderful. This is a great school and the parents are very involved. The encouragement by the school adminstrators for parental involvement in the school is evidence that the staff is doing great things and has nothing to hide. This translates to a great education and a safe learning environment for the students.

I loved coming to CGE! The environment is the best with all the fun you have and great extra-curricular activities! Last year I participated in the Superintendent's Music Festival. It was the best time I have ever had! My new middle cshool could never amount to what CGE has become.

I am a Coral Gables Elem, Alumnus, having attended in the late 80's. CG really shaped who I would become. Because of the support, the teachers, and the environment, I was nurtured to be the best I could be. Now, our little family member has been attending since Kinder, and it really hasn't changed. It's still the best school in Dade County. Several of my old teachers are still there making an important impact on the lives of those kids.

My daughter has been at CG Elem. since Pre-K, she has had loving and supportive teachers every step of the way. She is now in gifted and is a very well rounded young lady. Parent's are always welcomed into the school and are considered a very important part of each child's education. It has been a WONDERFUL experience having my daughter in this remarkable school.
