It was not ideal, but they did a good job moving into this new location and making it their own. The staff, front office and supporting included, is always friendly and helpful. I feel like given the rankings of AZ education in general, which we know is not great as a state, Neely provides the best elementary education you can get and does so in a safe and welcoming environment. I would recommend checking it out if you're looking for an elementary school in the area.

We love ALA - Gilbert K-6…read more We had took our son out of public school as he was struggling a lot and seemed behind. We were hesitant to put him into ALA as they are a little bit more advanced and within a few months he was excelling! The teachers that we have had have been amazing and truly care and help our kid in any way they possibly can. I really appreciate their hard work and help. The pick up line and drop off isnt bad after the first couple of weeks and everyone gets used to it. We are sad to be leaving and moving to a new school.

Absolutely the worst school my son has ever attended. He was bullied the entire year and then was…read moreturned into the bad guy. Was suspended based off whatever the bully would say to get my son into trouble. No adult proof ever. Even with their 504 plan I have my son in they didn't help him whatsoever. Now because of them I cannot get my son into another school in the district we live in. As a single mother this is beyond frustrating and hurtful, they would never help or listen. The staff is beyond lazy they cannot deal with difficult children in any manner. So what my 10 year old doesn't get a chance to prove himself?? I chose this school based off the rating and reviews and it was the WORST decision I have ever made for my son and because of last year he now struggles from it and NO ONE HELPS YOU EVER. They don't listen. They do NOT CARE. I have never dealt with other parents with their self entitlement bs than I have with this school and it's disgusting.

An absolutely amazing program at Island's Elementary in Gilbert AZ. The principals are always…read morevisible, approachable, professional and proactive. The teachers are always so nice and more importantly so competent in what they do. We have 2 boys at Islands and since day one at the front office, the two front office ladies Miss Brenda and Miss Shelley were super welcoming, nice and remembered our boys names. They even started tracking his height as the ultimate bonding moments. The building blocks teachers are always doing fun holiday meals and activities. They also have the best Halloween and Holiday Activities as well as events celebrating our Veterans and First Responders. A true class act with absolutely no negatives. Shouts out and GOLD STAMPS to Miss Orona, Castellano, Cockrum, Hunter, Gloria and Stephanie. As well as Miss Mckerchy who was an absolute angel for one of our boys. They all go above and beyond and should be greatly commended. GPS please recognize these outstanding teachers as they are truly making a positive difference and displaying excellence in education on many different levels. A truly multidisciplinary and holistic approach to educational excellence.

So if your sending your kid to the 4th grade at this school. I really don't recommend It at all.
