(But you already knew that)
Gilbert Families,
WE DID IT!
Gilbert High School has achieved an EXCELLENT South Carolina School Report Card rating with a score of 70!
This is an incredible accomplishment and we could not be prouder of our students, faculty, staff and community!
For those who may not be familiar with the South Carolina School Report Card, schools receive one of four overall ratings: Below Average, Average, Good, or Excellent.
In just three short years, Gilbert High School has grown 13 points, progressing from AVERAGE to GOOD to EXCELLENT! It has been over a decade since GHS last achieved an Excellent rating, making this accomplishment even more meaningful.
This growth did not happen overnight. It reflects our commitment to continuous improvement, using data to guide instructional decisions, collaborating at a higher level and ensuring that every student is everyone's responsibility. We have taken best practices and made them our own, all while staying true to the values that make Gilbert special.
That is the Gilbert Way and it is making a difference!
To our parents, families and community, thank you for your continued dedication, trust and support of our school and the work we do each day. Your partnership matters and we are grateful to have a parental group and community that stands behind our students, teachers and school. This achievement belongs to all of us!
As we celebrate this milestone, we know our work is not finished. We will continue to grow, improve and raise the standard for every student who walks through our doors.
We are Gilbert and WE ARE EXCELLENT!
Thank you for being part of the Gilbert family. We are proud of our students, thankful for our community and excited about what lies ahead!
With gratitude and Gilbert Pride,
David F. Dixon
Principal, Gilbert High School
