Gateway Technical High School

Summary:

Gateway Technical High School is a public charter high school located in Georgetown, Texas, serving around 50 students in grades 9-12. Over the past few years, the school's racial makeup has shifted, with a decrease in the percentage of white students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students.

Gateway Technical High School has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 413 out of 1,743 Texas high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 1,145 out of 1,762 in 2015-2016. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 stars out of 5 to 4 stars out of 5 over the years. Male students have consistently outperformed female students, while Hispanic students and special education students have struggled. However, the school has performed exceptionally well for "at-risk" students, ranking in the top 20% of Texas high schools in this category. The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from a high of 81.8% in 2018-2019 to a low of 65.0% in 2022-2023, and its dropout rates have also varied.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Georgetown High School and Chip Richarte High School, both part of the Georgetown Independent School District, Gateway Technical High School generally underperforms in terms of statewide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates. The school's performance has been quite volatile over the years, suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence and addressing the needs of its diverse student population. However, the school's strong performance for "at-risk" students could be an area of focus and potential best practice.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
