Summary:
Gateway Charter Academy is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Gateway Charter Academy district, which is ranked 788 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Based on the available data, Gateway Charter Academy does not appear to be a standout school, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools over the past three years and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other schools in the state.
The school's student population is predominantly African American (95.98%), with small percentages of Hispanic (2.01%), White (0.5%), and other racial/ethnic groups. Academic performance at the school is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests well below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.08% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. Additionally, a high percentage (75.63%) of students at Gateway Charter Academy qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The school's low ranking, 0-star rating, and high student-teacher ratio of 22.1 to 1 suggest that Gateway Charter Academy is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Significant improvements in academic performance, resource allocation, and student support services may be necessary to help the school better serve the Gateway Charter Academy community.
