Alignment throughout the Student Experience

As a school founded on the middle school model, Gilbert Middle School takes middle grades best practice seriously. One way they do that is through vertical grades 6-8 teams that discuss and align assessments while working collaboratively to examine various proficiency scales based on student work. In addition, grade-level teams help teachers meet the individual needs of students.
