Houston Gateway Academy

The first nine weeks of school, the science teacher was out on maternity leave and the school did not hire a substitute teacher. No science was taught to the six graders for the first eight weeks! Gateway Academy, Coral campus does not have enough books for the students. My son hardly ever had homework. They have horrible prepackaged meals that are served in the class rooms. The principle never returns calls, nobody returns calls. I took my son out of the school today due to being bullied and my son was to blame for the incident. It is not in my son s nature to be violent. He struck back to defend himself. Gateway Academy Coral campus was a giant mistake!

HGA a great school with excellent Teachers they help them to improve on there subject. I like the idea they started to offer tutorials after school. What I like is that they are expanding more in grade level have plans to build new schools which is good they will have High School soon. My daughters have done very well they have attend this school since Kinder they have attended HISD and PISD schools in other occasion for couple of months which I would'nt see no improvement. I as a parent have to take them back HGA for the same reason they focus more in our kids Education even the Principle you could talk to him he helps out the Students. You dont really see that in any other ISD school. If you want your child to Achieve in Life I really do recomment this school. Thank You HGA

HGA is a great school. The principal is present throughout the classrooms and the rest of the campus. He forms relationships with his students and goes far and beyond to make himself assessible to the parents. The curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of the population of students HGA services. The teachers are easily assessible, as you have way of reaching them beyond school hours. I have experienced a problem with a lack of classroom management with a few teachers, but they continue to work towards improvement.

HGA is the best school my daughter has ever attended. The teachers are all great and know the students needs to help them achieve their goals. Mr. Penning, the Principal has had an open door policy. He is always very helpful.
