I enjoyed going to school in Gilbert. The teachers and courses really helped any and all students understand the material and didn't really leave anyone behind to figure it out for themselves. Everyone was able to get the learning and understanding they needed from each class.

The best part would probably be sports for me. We are decent at some sports but not at others. We have an okay community, however, there is high pressure to do good on state testing. They put a lot of pressure on us to do good so they look good.

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.
