Gateway Charter High School

"I do not recommend letting your child come to this school. I came here at the end of the year I haven't seen nor heard one positive thing since I've started this school. It is full of disrespectful staff, it's dirty, broken down crowded, and racist. This school is not only a high school. There is a middle school inside of it! Middle school girls like to gain attention from male seniors which is not right at all. This school is horrible. Rumors were spread among students about a few teachers having an inappropriate relationship with students. The lunch food is worst it seems like they're feeding us dog food, which would be fine if we were dogs ! they need to shut this school down or make a lot of changes. If your thinking about switching your children school I recommend Dunbar High School it's a very good school with great teachers."

"I definitely disagree with all the comments the school is good, I switched from gateway to Riverdale n I’m thinking of moving back because gateway is sm better w/ discipline You rarely see a fight break out a gateway well at any other school it’s an every day thing and the teachers aren’t bad your child will learn what they want to learn it’s all about the effort they put forth and the attention they pay in class while yes there could be some bad teachers there’s bad teachers at every school but I do agree that they should have more programs for students and transportation could be better but over all it isn’t a bad school at all"

"There are NO programs for special needs students. There is NO Exceptional Student Education specialist, no one to coordinate IEPs or assist teachers to benefit special needs students. There is no speech therapy, occupational therapy, or physical therapy. There is ONE counselor for ALL students grades 6-12. For non-English speaking students or students with limited English skills, they must rely solely on the kindness of their classmates. There is no library, and very limited elective options. The administration is concerned about money and their sorry rating while the seriously disturbed 19-year-old in 9th grade is ignored. The students are being cheated while the administration expects miracles from teachers who are given no resources or support. Give your children better."

"Revised Review: Teachers and academics stand par with Florida Standards. The teachers GENUINELY care for the students. - However, with that said there is a distinct lack of respect coming from administration towards the students. - It's almost as though the administrators are annoyed by the presence of students. - I was the Freshman President at Gateway Charter, and though I loved the school and it's students; I had MORE THAN reason to assess one of the secretaries as incompetent and problematic. - Principles helped when it came to academics, however the lack of a guidance counselor clearly proposed an issue being that I wasn't able to seek help for more nitty gritty things, not necessarily emotional situations. - Overall a 3/5 school."

"This is my senior year an i haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate this school, id rather eat prison food then this crap. at least they dont put snails in my vegtables. There is probably a handful of fantastic teachers, this school false advertises. Save your kid a year of hell of highschool an send them to riverdale or east lee. Same goes for middle school. Its hell."
