Ernest Gallet Elementary

I've had 3 children go through this school, with my 4th starting in the 2017-2018 year. Great school with caring teachers overall. 1 star reduced for some things falling through the cracks and slow communication.

SPEC tchrs are awesome! Love the time and patience they have with these kids!nMy son loves it!

Because I go to school and there so much nice people

Very bad school. My son and I had a horrible time here for his whole kindergarten year. Most of the staff is horrible there. I highly recommend somewhere else. Very stereotype!!!! They suspended my kindergarten the 2nd day of school and expelled him 5days before school ended. If you care about your child(ren) feelings and learning ability's, I wouldn't send them there.

We moved from Texas and I was looking all over lafayette to see what school was good so that I could put my child in. This school came up and I thought wow it seems great. Then I started noticing that they wanted money for EVERYTHING and I mean everything from snacks to events to everything the only free thing they offer is education (which isn't as advanced as Texas). There were many times a month when my child's classroom didn't eat snacks because other parents wouldn't pitch in so the ones who did take snacks had to take double and triple snacks a month. It wasn't fair at all for the parents who care if their child eats. Then my child's teacher quits or gets fired (they never said) I found out 2 months later that there was a sub there the entire time. They never sent out a letter or anything. I had to call and speak with the principal and she finally said they were going to send one out... Yea 2 months later? Wow I couldn't believe it. Kindergarten only got ONE field trip! JUST ONE!! those poor kids were only taken to the zoo which is down the street. One for the whole school year. The last fun year for them for their entire school years were cut short because this horrible school only planned one darn field trip for them. The only reason I gave this place 2 stars is because the staff in the office are very nice ladies. I'm so glad we are going back to Texas where the schools are much better. I feel bad for the ppl who have to stay there until 5th grade. I would consider moving houses just so they could go to a different school better than Gallet.
