Gateway Senior High School

Summary:

Gateway Senior High School is a public high school located in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, serving 1,135 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Gateway School District, which is ranked 209 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Gateway Senior High School stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with 47.67% White, 33.48% African American, 4.05% Hispanic, and 6.87% Asian students. This diversity is higher compared to nearby schools like Franklin Regional Senior High School and Plum Senior High School, which have predominantly White student bodies. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with Keystone Exam proficiency rates above the state average in Algebra I and Literature, but below average in Biology. Gateway Senior High School has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.8% to 90.7% in recent years, and a relatively low dropout rate of 0.7% to 1.7%.

One notable characteristic of Gateway Senior High School is its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.26% to 88.44% in the past three years. This is significantly higher than the nearby Franklin Regional Senior High School and Plum Senior High School, which have much lower free and reduced lunch rates. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic performance, which has fluctuated in recent years, with the school's ranking dropping from 141 out of 693 Pennsylvania high schools in 2018-2019 to 310 out of 674 in 2022-2023.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote School that spends way too many tax dollars on football. If your student takes all Honors classes, they will receive a quality/ tremendous education; however, if you take academic/general classes be prepared to not learn anything. School with growing behavior problems, but has a ton of great extra-curricular activities/clubs. Gifted students excel, "special education" is phenomenal, but below average/ average students get left behind. Close Quote

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.
