The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Both of my kids attend Kimball Wiles. My son is in 2nd grade and my daughter is in Kindergarten. We've had such a great experience with this school so far. It is a big campus with a lot of students but is very organized and has a nice community feel. The office staff/ admin and are all very informative and friendly. The teachers are FABULOUS and we are very impressed with the after school program on campus. (EDEP) The Gifted teacher for 1st and 2nd grade is pretty amazing too. We are so glad we made the switch from the local private school in Gainesville last year.

Both my children currently attend Wiles Elementary. I am very pleased with the effort the teachers make to help children do their best each day. I noticed some negative comments about Wiles spending too much time getting ready for the FCAT. This has nothing to do with the teachers or the principal....
