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!
