Gateway Pointe Elementary

Summary:

Gateway Pointe Elementary is a public school in Gilbert, Arizona, serving 767 students in grades PK-8. It is part of the Higley Unified School District, which is ranked 75 out of 288 districts in the state.

While Gateway Pointe Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups vary significantly, with strong performance for Native American, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, but struggles for African American, White, and Multi-racial students. Additionally, the school has seen a substantial increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 14.75% in 2021-2022 to 40.81% in 2022-2023.

Gateway Pointe Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, and its academic performance varies significantly across grade levels. When compared to other nearby schools in the Higley Unified School District, such as Power Ranch Elementary, Chaparral Elementary School, and Centennial Elementary School, Gateway Pointe Elementary generally underperforms. These challenges suggest the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its diverse student population and ensure equitable opportunities for all learners.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
