We have been at Gateway for about 5 years now, I have a son that is a Junior and one in 6th grade. I couldn't be happier with their progress and opportunities. My oldest is already getting recruited by universities which I never had when I was in school. He is becoming a well rounded individual and I couldn't be more proud. They have a new technology class and robotics for my 6th grader, which is very cool. Gateway has come a long way since we started going there with all the additions. And Mr. Ricky(aka Tony Stark) has a big heart and is a man of vision. It is only getting bigger and better. My wife also works there and being at Gateway I have noticed that she is much happier at this district then previous districts. She is a pretty good Teacher by the way.(I'm not biased or anything) The reviews about the Cafeteria are ridiculous, My son never complains about the food and My wife says its pretty good. If she eats there that's saying something.
I have spoken with many of my Gateway Alumni friends and each and every one of them had the trend of, "It has helped me so much to get prepared and it's almost the exact same as college. I don't find college to be hard at all since attending Gateway College Prep."
I am so glad we found this school! We recently moved to Georgetown from the NW suburbs of Chicago and found the public schools here to be...lacking. Severely lacking. We didn't know what to do. Private school was an option, but extremely limited if you desired a secular environment. Charter schools are virtually unheard of in Illinois so we were unfamiliar with their concept. Again, I am SO GLAD we found this school! It upholds the high standards we are used to. The teachers are amazing, the extra curricular activities are varied and abundant. Our child is thriving and we are beyond ecstatic to have found an institution where high standards are placed not only on academics, but individual development as well.
I will say this, our daughter is advanced for her age, and Gateway has proven to be the perfect environment for her to grow at the accelerated pace she requires. I have read all of the negative reviews and my response is this, Gateway is not an alternative school. If you are simply looking for a place to dump your academically or behaviorally challenged child, look elsewhere. Yes, Gateway is strict. Yes, they require accountability both academically and behaviorally. And if you have any experience with the top educational institutions in our country, you will see that they all have this in common. However, if your child is dedicated to learning, and would do well in an environment that offers more than just your run-of-the-mill public school setting, Gateway would be a great choice!
You have to understand this is a CHARTER PUBLIC school and not entirely a PUBLIC school so it will not have the same qualities of a public school in the district. With so many generous families, we are finally starting Phase 111 of construction and it has only improved since starting the school 8 years ago.
I heard through the grapevine that students were putting up bad reviews as pranks or because they thought it was funny, well its not funny and it needs to be known that some of these bad reviews are fake. Gateway is too gracious to point it out but I do like their witty and thoughtful responses. So please use discernment when reading through some of these. Now for my Review:
This school has it's downs just like ANY OTHER SCHOOL ever existing but if you seek it, it's actually a very great school!
If you don't plan on getting exposed to drugs and alcohol this place is the perfect school!
If I could give it zero stars I would. Negative stars would be generous for this school. The only good reviews are from people before the school went completely downhill. Listen to the most recent reviews before you send your kids here
This school is not for everyone but if you do find it's for you, get ready for your college life to get easier and in cases, have your parents save money on your tuition fee.
I love gateway!!! Im in seventh grade and this is my first year being able to play basketball. I love my coaches and all my teachers.
