About Gilbert Public Schools

Gilbert Public Schools uses a recognizable K–6, 7–8, and 9–12 backbone across a large East Valley network. Educational choice can alter that sequence. Neely Traditional Academy carries its model through sixth grade; Gilbert Classical Academy spans grades 7–12 and keeps one academic design across the usual junior-high-to-high-school boundary; Gilbert Global Academy provides online junior-high and high-school placements.

These are whole-school routes, not isolated courses inside a comprehensive campus. Neely ends at the normal secondary transition, Gilbert Classical keeps the same cohort and model through graduation, and Gilbert Global replaces the daily physical setting. The selected school can alter transportation, peer group, and the number of campuses a student attends.
