We don't go to Gilbert but our son has been in Eduprize Queen Creek since it opened 4 years ago. He started in 4th grade and is in 7th there now. We LOVE it!! It has been a great school for him. In 4th grade they are still making so many connections daily that I am sure he will make friends easily. It can sometimes be tough with the charter schools instead of a neighborhood public school when it comes to friends. We have found that friends are not in bike riding distance etc so it takes more parent involvement and driving but it's totally worth it!
Congrats and good luck!
