Our History:
Patterson Elementary School, located in the heart of Gilbert, Arizona continues to flourish as a school rich in traditions and esteemed for academic excellence.  Founded in 1976, Patterson is one of the oldest and most distinguished schools in the Gilbert School District.  Not only does Patterson consistently achieve above average scores on both state and national standardized tests, currently Patterson is ranked “excelling” by the Arizona Department of Education.

Our Culture:
Trust is fundamental when speaking of best companies and the same is true for Patterson.  Based on six pillars of character, Patterson breeds trust both inwardly among faculty, staff, and students and outwardly among parents and the community.  In fact, this trust may explain why a quarter of the student body consists of students outside school boundaries while others are placed on a waiting list.  The unifying principles which create such a trusting environment include: trustworthiness, respect, citizenship, caring, fairness, and responsibility.
