I have been at Gilbert schools my whole life and the best parts were the friends I made and being set up to do great at college especially with our duel enrollment classes. I've only had pretty good experiences here. I would like to see a change in counselor and administration as far as keeping the students knowledgeable about classes that will help them in the future or with their careers they want to go into.

I personally loved my experience at Gilbert high School over the past four years. The community is so supportive and kind. My interactions with staff and administrators have been nothing but positive. I am so grateful to have attended a school that pushes me to grow and be my best self whilst providing proper resources and support.

Personally, I loved Gilbert. I went to Lexington High School and then transferred my second semester of my sophomore year. It was a big change but so worth going from a big school to a smaller school. Everyone there was friends with everyone and it was such a comfort place in my opinion. My experiences with transferring there was the best experience a teenager could ask for. I loved playing my sport there and it actually lead to me becoming a collegiate athlete.

Was there for a wrestling qualifier. me and my teammate was berated by some girl about “not touching their equipment” and “not calling their school broke” and also “not making fun about the fact our HS football team won state and theirs didn’t”. 0/10 would not recommend.

This is an amazing school!!!! 100 times better than Lexington High School. From the administration to the teacher/coaches and students. The teachers actually still care about each student. The students are so well mannered and not judgmental. Moving our children here even though we live in Lexington...
