I do not know much about the school, but have heard that it's a great school and is an "A" school…read more We have decided to enroll our child into their Summer P.L.A.C.E. Program, since (by the grace of God) there was a spot open and our own school always has a wait list. The staff here are wonderful and they have excellent security/communication measures in place for our children. The weekly rate is so reasonable at $64 per week with childcare from 6:00a to 6:00pm which includes field trips! They have a set schedule and curriculum. We chose to enroll her because we have come to realize that structure is needed since school is out. With entering her in July, we are so grateful for this program and made such a wonderful decision for our sanity. (I now get why parents are counting the days till school starts as this summer has been tough). Can you feel me parents? Highly recommend this before/after school and summer program!!!

The staff pretend to be friendly and act nice in front of parents but mistreat your children behind close doors . Ms . Sarah Agenes is the worst out of all of them my child cannot speak to her without her being rude or complaining about doing her damn job. My child is eager to learn but this teacher especially shuts her down every question she ask she says i'm not repeating myself ask your peers , and i quote " i do not answer questions that are not important " this distract should be shut down . How can adults treat children like this? i have so much more to say but won't waste my time . i am honestly disgusted in yous and you should be ashamed of yourself for treating children who want an education like a burden . It's like " child adults " working for this school PATHETIC

We were reluctant to place our children in public school. After meeting with the principle, Mr…read more Abernathy, our fears were abated. 5 years later, it was a good choice. The vast majority of the teachers are excellent and genuinely concerned for the children. Any that are not, are quickly dealt with. The entire staff generally understand that they are aiding parents with the education of their children. As opposed to the trend of schools thinking they may usurp the authority of the parents. Parents can be as involved as they are willing.

I was placed for my internship here and my 5th grade cooperating teacher is incredible. She allows me to use my obtained education knowledge to prepare and teach the students in the class.

My son learned a lot with Mrs Dwyer as his gifted math teacher as well as with Mrs Marsh his gifted science teacher. My son has learned such a great deal and is enjoying learning at Chiles elementary school. He has become a super reader thanks to Mr. R who is a wonderful role model to the children at Chiles and has also done extremely well with his writing thanks to Mrs. Baldwin who is my son's outstanding homeroom teacher who made his transition from South Tampa to new Tampa a wonderful experience. Mrs Baldwin has truly made my son's experience at Chiles elementary school. This school is exemplary and I am so happy that my son is going to the school and would highly recommend the school. The quality of the teachers are top Notch and you won't find teachers this fabulous anywhere else!

My child attended New River Elementary School for kindergarten in 2024-2025. I do not recommend…read morethis school due to multiple serious concerns: Safety Incident: In September 2024, two men were caught shooting in the woods right next to the school. Heavy police presence followed. It was very frightening. PE Injury: During a game called "Zookeeper," my son was knocked down and injured by a pool noodle. The PE teacher, Hannah Lane, and principal, Colleen Wilkinson, were unresponsive when I reported it. Denied Lunch: My son was denied a free lunch when he forgot his lunchbox. Another child was also denied. Principal Colleen Wilkinson took no action after I reported it. Limited Trust: Because of these incidents, I never allowed my child to participate in field trips and kept my involvement minimal. Transfer: I ultimately transferred my child to a different school for first grade. Overall, this school does not provide a safe or supportive environment for children.

Some kid hit me for crying, and instead of punishing him, they brushed it off and told me I was fine. There was hair and bugs in your food, and new teachers every week because they kept getting fired. I got locked in the bathroom in the dark and the teachers made no move to discipline the boys who did it. My sister was thrown on the concrete ground and the teachers made no move to punish the boys who did it. My dad had to get involved just for the boy to leave us alone. My other sister got locked outside for 30 minutes because they "didn't realize she was outside" despite the fact she was crying and banging on the door. There was bugs and literal MICE in the bathrooms. You could smell they didn't clean the bathrooms. It smelled terrible. When you got hurt, they did nothing. You could break all your fingers and all your toes and they would just put you in "The boo boo room" which is just a room with a bed and a tv. There was no nurse and no people with any medical knowledge at all. Please don't send your kids here, for the love of god.
