However, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5 in the most recent school year.
While Gilbert School's overall performance in Mathematics and English Language Arts is below the state averages, there are some grade levels where the school's proficiency rates are higher than the district and state. This suggests that the school may be experiencing inconsistencies in its academic outcomes across different grade levels. Further investigation into the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation could help identify specific areas that need attention and opportunities for improvement.
