Gilbert Elementary School

The school has a small town/family feel. The teachers are top notch! It's a nice mix of experience and new teaching talent. I picked this school for my child because of the dual language program which is fabulous. I am very pleased with the eduction my child has received. They also have a wonderful Pre K program and Kindergarten prep program. I'm not sure if the reviews are outdated but I don't see the issues that people have complained in the last. If it was an issue at some point, it has been corrected and in a positive growth direction. Teachers come to this school and don't leave. If they leave they come back because they miss the community and culture of the school.

My 2 favorite things about the school that kept our family on campus the last 16 years. 1. Gilbert El has a wonderful small town feel. Great traditions, and returning alumni contribute to the community.2. The Dual Language programs has been a wonderful experience for my kids and our family.

I’m my children have attended Gilbert El since preschool and they have had a great experience.

It's the students that suffer
