Amazing opportunities for kids. Forest kindergarten is awesome. All of the students get to learn outdoors. Over 300 acres of trails, and the media center is beautiful. The robotics team went to the world championships!

Due to the lack of diversity at this school, I wonder how the minority students and their parents are treated. They also need to fix their sign. Driving by and seeing letters missing makes it look horrible.

Gilbert being a STEM school has opened up so many opportunities for my child. He loves being able to work outside. My daughter attended Forest Kindergarten and I can't say enough great things about that experience. Her teacher was incredible. Love this school and the staff!

i am weary because of the last year that my grand child will be attending Gilbert. The leaders are simply terrible. I remember this school being a wonderful place in the past. What has happened to this place? I have heard bad stories from parents and teachers and witnessed a few near misses myself. The scores are going down in all the grades except fifth. I am just thankful that the fifth grade teachers will have my grand this year or I would make my child pull him/her out. I can only hope for the best for the rest of the little kids coming and going from there. I feel bad for the teachers also. They are so sad and I think they want some leaders who know what they are doing. Poor leadership reflects throughout an organization. Established teachers not included, I would have to give the leadership a 2 rating. Putting pictures on the site does not make people great leaders. Truly do your homework before choosing this school.

Gilbert is the worst school. Every thay put almost put my child in the wrong car 4 times and I had the car rider tag hanging up to I had to literly yell at one teacher to let her know that she was puting my child in the wrong car. Last week I had a teacher fuss with me that I was not my child's parent when I walk past that same teacher twice a day. Gilbert defiantly don't have thar things in order. And my child is geting transfers asap.

So sad to see the new report card rating about Gilbert. Such poor leadership with that principal. When I pick my kid up and go in the school I never see the principal and when I do he never smiles or talks to anybody. The school has definitely gone down the last 2 years and these scores prove that! Our kids deserve better!
