Summary

Gilbert F M Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Irving, TX, serving 748 students within the Irving Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional bilingual program, which is a major asset for families. In the most recent testing year, Gilbert F M Elementary ranked in the top 15% of all Texas schools for serving English Language Learners, and its students taking the STAAR Spanish exam dramatically outperformed both the district and state averages. For example, 4th graders scored 62.5% proficient in Spanish reading, compared to just 22.8% in the district. This is a unique strength not found at nearby schools like Uplift Infinity Prep Ps, which outperforms Gilbert in English but cannot match its Spanish-language results. The school also excels in 5th-grade math, with a 53.91% proficiency rate that is the highest among all nearby Irving ISD schools.

However, the school’s overall performance has been volatile, swinging from a 71st percentile ranking in 2023-2024 to a 29th percentile in 2025-2026. While it serves its English Language Learners exceptionally well, it struggles to challenge its highest-achieving students, ranking in the bottom 3-4% statewide for Gifted and Talented programming. This contrast is key: the school offers a powerful pathway for Spanish-speaking students, but families seeking consistent, top-tier overall academics or advanced enrichment may want to investigate recent changes in leadership or curriculum that could explain the performance swings.
