"GHS is an excellent school in many ways. They have high academic expectations, but are willing to help students meet them. Special education teachers and counselors are caring and dedicated. There are programs to prevent exclusion and bullying. The theater program and drama club are excellent. The honors and AP classes are world-class. I can't say enough good thing about GHS!"

"Overall, Gilbert High School is a amazing school. The academics here are excellent, and the teachers care about your success. Starting this year we got a new principal, and he has turned out to be great. The person below is horribly mistaken that the school is full of snobs. The students here are open, which means there are very few cliques, and it is easy to make friends. I was somewhat scared of starting high school, but going to Gilbert High has made everything go well."

"Extremely disappointing to find out the school is run by people who care less about their students & more about their ratings. I was moving into the area so I wanted to make sure where I should move to get her into the best school. Come to find out the only reason it has high scores is because they won't except anyone that is right on the border who doesn't have perfect grades. I did everything they asked and then they waited till there was a week left before school started to inform me that the Principal will not allow her in his school. She has a medical condition and due to this her grades went down some last year, so she is not good enough for the school, but our neighbors are. I guess it's better this way, because my daughter deserves better then a bunch of snobs!!!"

"I graduated in 2003, having had 3 fantastic years at this school. I came in as a sophmore and got to meet other students early through the marching band (marched in Bush Jr's inauguration and placed 21st nationally in ABODA 2002). My grades went up tremendously, especially in math and history. The teachers are more than willing to tutor your before and after school, and also during your free period. There are plenty of activities students can be active in, from chess to sports to drama, ecology, even forign language clubs. The school is very large, especially from a reboundry in 2002 that added 500+ students, but it is very diverse and all the staff truly care about the student's education and well being."
