GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Gateway is a good school. I feel a lot more safer than in public school and some teachers are really really cool.

Gateway isn't a bad school. It's a small charter. For it having college preparatory in the name, it had very little to no resources. The class selection is just your basic core classes. With the sports, I play 3, you grow a bond with your teammates like no other. You also grow a personal connection with the teachers which is amazing.

I graduated from this school last year, and have since moved to an R1 and D1 college experience. Gateway's workload when I was in middle school and high school is about what I am receiving now as a college freshman. However, the schooling at college is much better. Gateway relies on your children te...
