Gilbert Heights Elementary School

Gilbert Heights sits in the outer east reaches of Portland, in a part of the city that often flies under the radar but has a strong working-class community feel. The school serves a diverse student population, and families who are deeply involved in their children's education can help make a real difference here — this is a school where engaged parents and dedicated teachers matter. For families rooted in the David Douglas area who value community connection over rankings, Gilbert Heights is a neighborhood school in the truest sense of the word.
