Gilham Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.

There are 29 kids in my son's first grade class with only 1 teacher. The principal is overwhelmed and scattered. I have nothing good to say at all about this school. Will be getting on lotteries for any other school but this one asap. Close Quote

The principle doesn't do her job and there is no accountability. She is the worst principle I have ever dealt with. Close Quote
