We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have gone to Gateway College Prep since I was in the 6th grade. Throughout my time there, I have been one of the 6-7 Hispanics in my grade and many of my teachers have left. This past year, we had a long term chemistry substitute which did not help me learn a lot about Chemistry. However, Gateway does allow me to take Austin Community College classes so, I am glad I get the chance to take dual credit courses and get my pre-med associates before I graduate.

We've had 3 kids go to GCP and I appreciate their focus on academics and the responsibility given to students as they prepare for college.

My stepson from Brazil started Gateway as a 5th grader and attended full time until his senior year graduation. Currently - I have a 4th & 6th grader attending Gateway since enrolling in Gatewa's kindergarten. We are overly blessed to get the education & "common sense mindset" that Gateway offers - unlike many of the public school policies that are nonsense driven.
