Our son transferred to Gilbert Elementary after spring break, and we were honestly very nervous about the change—especially considering his IEP for ADHD needs. From the very beginning, Gilbert Elementary has been nothing short of amazing.This is our home school, and Mrs. Lauren Granillo in the office has been incredible. She answered all of my questions with grace and calmness. No matter how many times I called—whether during registration or with random questions—she never made me feel rushed or like I was bothering her. Mrs. Victoria has also been kind and helpful, always with a big smile. The entire office staff is welcoming and truly sets a positive tone for the school.Our first meeting was with Principal Mr. Justin Sremba, School Psychologist Mrs. Sarah Devena, Special Education Resource Teacher Mrs. Regina Mayes, and his teachers, Mrs. LaFontsee and Mr. Armenta. It meant so much to meet the full team supporting our son. They took the time to understand who he is, his needs, and how best to support him. Things have only continued to improve. Communication between us as parents and Mrs. Mayes, Mrs. LaFontsee, and Mr. Armenta has been phenomenal. It’s a relief knowing our son is surrounded by people who genuinely care and want him to succeed. They truly make us feel like part of a team.I also want to give a special shoutout to Mr. Chris Marcrum. On our son’s first day, he personally walked us to the classroom. As we walked through the halls during a busy morning, he greeted students by name, made eye contact, gave high fives and fist bumps, and checked in with them about their lives—asking about weekends, games, and even how one child was healing after an injury. It was incredible to witness. I’ve also seen Principal Mr. Sremba interact with students in the same genuine way. It’s clear the kids here are truly seen. It’s one thing to recognize a name, but it takes real intention to truly know each child—and that’s exactly what this staff does.Our son LOVES this school. He comes home excited to talk about his day, what he’s learned, and he especially loves the “Dino Dollars.” Seeing him so happy and engaged means everything to us. Our son needed a fresh start, and with the support of Gilbert Elementary, he is absolutely thriving. We feel so lucky to be part of this school community and highly recommend it to any family considering a change or just starting out.

this school is horrible teachers dont care about teaching and they only send you outa class and dont care about bullies

The school is great. Love the teachers and community...BUT...the boys basketball program and seriously gone morally and ethically bankrupt. Chris Lemon has come in to the program and completely ruined the program bringing in a huge influx of kids who are not in district. he thinks he is building an empire...umm..news flash. He doesn't even know how to coach basketball nor build up the program. They are inconsistent, with no sense of fundamentals or building a program. He is unmarried with a baby mamma, cusses like a sailor, and is no role model for teens. he should take a lesson from Coach Gonzalez...she has built a classy program that not only plays basketball games but builds up strong young women. GPS, fire coach Lemon and start over. The kids deserve better.
