Gobles Elementary School

I think the school has some things going for it, but when it comes to kids with learning disabilitys I feel they need to have some extra help! when the problems are noticed.Not in the 6th grade when the kid has low self esteme. because most parents that send there kids to public schools can not afford to pay$500 a semester for a tutor...

I was very disappointed with the principal of this school last year.I went to her with some problems that my child was having and was basically told if I didn't like it to either home school or do school of choice. Parent ideas and conderns aren't taken into consideration like they should be. Unfortunately this principal is now the superintendent on the school. On the upside there is a new principal and so far he seems to be doing a good job. The teachers here are of high quality and my children have had good experiences with them overall.

I think that this school is very good in academic programs and their Extracurricular activities. They might be a little caught up with sports but other things are important to them as well such as their school work.Music, art, and sports are available in this school and I belive that the parents are very involved with them. The quality of the academic programs are okay, and this school will take in anyone. I give this school a five star rating because as a soon to be sixth grade student at this school, It is he best school in Michigan!

I am disappointed that emphasis is placed on sports rather than academic achievement. It would be great to see children interested in art, music and such areas receive the support we see in sports. I can't help but be truly disappointed in the general apathy toward academic endeavor I see reflected in the tendency toward just doing what is necessary to satisfy the basic requirement for Michigan standards.

Gobles Elementary school has an exceptional sports program. Many parents push for their kids to excel in these programs, however they do not help within the classrooms. The same 3 - 4 parents help in each class of 30+ kids. We could certainly use more volunteers and we could also use some extracurricular activities in language and arts. As a parent of a fifth grader, I am very pleased with my overall experience with this school!
