Gateway Pointe Elementary School

Common' Gateway, stop the bullying. It's your job to see for the safety of all the students, not just the favorites.

My son went to this school for 2nd and 3rd grade. Both years the teachers that he had were wonderful role models and very willing to help students achieve their best. Students require parental involvment, and I have found that if I support the teacher from home, they supported my son's education! We had a good experience here at Gateway and my son throughly enjoyed attending while we lived in this area. The teachers are very easy to communicate with, willing to teach and put forth the effort that children are looking for! Great job Gateway!

I have had two children attend this school. One with special needs and one in 6- 8th grade. Every teacher has been so suppotive. If any issues arise the principal and assistant are excellent. The front desk lady is the most amazing lady Ive ever known. The bus drivers are excellent. The tutoring program is excellent. I think my ownly concern would be the PE teacher Mr farmsworth who is not positive towards the children and choses children for sports that do not deseve it because of the childs behaviour but mummy and daddy are rich so he will put them on the team instead. The football and soccer coaches both ladies and male teachers are fantastic and what Ive seeen of the baseball coaches the same. I do have a concern about sun saftey. The children are often out in the sun with no school hat or sunscreen. The school nurse is excellent and so is the librarian.

This school has been nothing but amazing since our daughter entered in 2009. The teachers are dedicated, the specials teachers are exemplary, and the administration is (from what I hear from teachers) quite supportive. I feel so lucky to have something so wonderful so close!

My kiddos have been attending since the 1st part of Feb. 2010. I DESPISE this school! We only have 1 vehicle at the moment & my husband works across town or I would move them back to the Gilbert School District in a heart beat! I went to pick up my kids from school today. My son told me her over heard a teacher of a younger grade ' I hope a bee stings you...if you kick the bush, that's what u deserve!' These teacher's are so mean & most of them are very cold. They are not loving, caring teachers that go out of there way. My son is in 6th grade & he tells me most all of his teacher's tell the kids shut-up. My 3rd. grader also has a grumpy teacher that will not go out of her way to help students that fall a little behind.

My 4th grade grand daughter lives with me. She entered school at the start of 3rd grade. From the very first day when we visited; we have been treated with utmost respect & concern. Each item of concern has been met in the most positive way. I see nothing but success for her here. I think it speaks volumes that although school work can be & willing...even anxious to get to school. She says her 4th grade teacher is hard, but has actually been a very positive influence in many ways. I am very grateful that fate and ? brought us here. My only reqret is that so few young parents are involved. And I know there are lots of grands who could and would enjoy volunteering if they just would do it!

Our son has some special challenges and everything has been handled beautifully with sensitivity and professionalism by his teacher (Gwen Newsom) as well as the special education teacher (Carolyn Castro).

My son attends Gateway Pointe Elementary and we've had wonderful experiences with the administration there. Assistant Principal Wolf was especially helpful in resoving some challenges we were having. Her professionalism was exemplary and we miss her presence at our school. I'm confused by some of the negative comments toward Gateway and its staff; we feel that we're fortunate to have our son enrolled at such an outstanding school.
