Gateway Early College Highschool is a great school and would recommend my best parts of this school is how they teacher are intent on helping you grow and are with you through your way I know my teachers helped me with scholarships because I've been not wanting to apply at all but with my teachers and family pushing me i've started to apply to more and with the school there are options for getting help and with the fact we can attend college classes in high school and earn credits a great opportunity. My worst experience was the fact that the highschool nearly does little with the college courses I had an issue with a class before with students not helping me (college students) and I tried to get help but the high school couldn't do much but inform the teachers in the college. Other than that pretty good maybe to offer more sports but the school has started to find way to get sports for the students my year being their first attempt to see if it would be a good idea and we got third.
