We've been a CRRE family since 2018 and have now experienced the Building Blocks preschool program all the way through 6th grade. We have been so happy and impressed with CRRE and would highly recommend it. The principal, teachers, and staff truly care about kids and our kids have always been happy to go to school. There are many opportunities for parents to be involved and throughout the year there are family-friendly events to attend. My kids have had great classroom teachers and great specials teachers, many of whom have been at the school for years and are deeply connected to the school community. The P.E. teacher Mrs. Naumann runs many fun clubs and events for kids throughout the year, from cup stacking to running club to Bring Your Parent to PE Day to 6th grade flag football and Field Day. The principal Mr. Birgen is very involved and you'll see him helping in the carpool line every day, no matter the weather. He knows the names of all the kids and is always open to ideas and chatting with parents. We have not had kids enrolled in the special education programs but my friends who have say that it's great. If you're considering schools in the Gilbert area, CRRE should be at the top of your list.
