GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

My son is in 3rd grade this year and has been attending Gulf Gate since kindergarten. I having nothing poor to say about it. All of his teachers have been very communicative and professional and open to parental feedback as well as great teachers to the students. The campus is very secure and the overall environment is very positive. My son is in the gifted program and the gifted teachers are wonderful so far. I would recommend Gulf Gate Elementary as one of the best schools in the County.
