My son attends Gateway. This school has a lot of great features. Academics are excellent, an athletic program not always found in Charter Schools and the whole thing is held together by great teachers and coaches. The teachers are encouraged to be creative and the atmosphere is not " Stuffy or Stuck-up". They seem to adjusting to rapid growth. 0-820 in 4 years. All I know is my son's attitude and grades are the best he has ever had.
