For me this school has been pretty relaxed, I have never gotten into any trouble with other students / teachers, and everyone here is fairly respectful. However, I know a lot of students like to play sports during lunch period and I'm sure they would appreciate sports equipment.

Horribly inefficient admin and overall a poor educational environment. It is unfortunate that their is a massive disparity with schools in the state. Unless you can afford astronomical tuition to schools such as Graland, you are stuck going to underfunded, understaffed holes in the wall with poor culture like Gateway.

This school is going through the motions of being a school, but I don't entirely blame them. I know that changes have been made, but they were cosmetic and/ or political changes that merely give the new principal more authority and power. Let's see what he does with it, but my confidence is low.

In all honesty, I did not feel like this was a school, I felt it was more of a hangout where students went to socialize. So many skip school, and would bully you if you did not fit into their standards and the staff would actually reprimand you if you "tattled".

Terrible they allow bullying. They need to take it way more seriously. Not a safe environment at all.
