Great teachers and a great education but sometimes there was bias from being in small town Iowa. I also found that my opportunities were often limited to things focusing on agriculture because of the amount of farming near by.

There are many nice teachers at Gilbert. They are able to make you feel comfortable and accomadate your needs well. I think everyone there has at least one teacher they really like.

I like how we do block schedules because it gives me more time to work on school work in class so I can have less homework. And I also like getting out early on wednesdays so I can get to my practices and get my homework done before. I wish some teachers would help more in class or explain more so students can understand what they are saying. I also wish all classes graded the same instead of different classes having different grading curves.

The early elementary reading program is outstanding. The kids have progressed with reading and writing quite well so far. We've been very impressed with the small school feel, and the communication to parents has been great.

Overall, moving in a positive direction. Lacking with educational opportunities for students. I would not define as progressive. However, family involvement is high. Those families that give more monetarily seem to receive more.
