Gateway High School

Summary:

Gateway High School is a public high school located in Kissimmee, Florida, serving 1,726 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Osceola School District, which is ranked 58 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gateway High School has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (74.86%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, such as Tohopekaliga High School and Osceola County School For The Arts, which have higher proficiency rates and graduation rates. Gateway High School's four-year graduation rate has declined from 94.2% in 2019-2020 to 83.3% in 2022-2023, lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.5% in 2019-2020 to 33.3% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Gateway High School's proficiency rates in standardized tests, such as EOC (End of Course) exams and FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) assessments, are consistently lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (59.68% in 2022-2023) may contribute to these academic challenges and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these areas of concern through targeted interventions and support could help Gateway High School improve its overall performance and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
