High suicide rate. If you're not white and rich, you won't fit in here. No academic opportunitie, making students not prepared for the real world and intead having students spend time making fun of others/bullying.

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 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.
