History

text
Gilbert High School built in 1918 in Gilbert Arizona. It now houses the Gilbert Public School District Office.

On June 19, 1917, an election was held "for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a high school" in the recently formed Gilbert School District #41.[6] Gilbert High School's first building opened in 1917. The first graduating class, consisting of 4 graduates, was in 1918.[5]

In the 1960s, Gilbert relocated to a new site where present day Mesquite Junior High School now stands.[citation needed] In 1987, the school moved to its current location.[9] Gilbert High School's original site is now the district administration building.[9] In 2017, Gilbert High celebrated its 100th graduating class, consisting of 600 students.[5]

As of 2018–19, there were 102 total teachers, principals, and other school leaders and 2,051 students currently enrolled at the school with enrollment listed at 100%.[7] Of the 102 teachers, principals, and other school leaders, 85 (83.33%) are listed as having greater than 3 years experience in the field and 7 (6.86%) of 102 are listed as teaching out of the subject area in which they are certified.[7]

This school is said to have below average results in how well it’s serving disadvantaged and low income students.[13] The organization gives Gilbert High School academic scores of 7/10 (down from 8/10 in 2019) for "college readiness", 5/10 (down from 7/10 in 2019) for standardized "test scores", and 5/10 (down from 6/10 in 2019) for "Academic progress". The school was also given equity scores of 2/10 (down from 5/10 in 2019) for "equity overview" (disadvantaged students are falling behind) and 3/10 for "low income students" (low-income kids are being left behind).[13]
