Truly, so many wonderful things about this place! The school is always locked, the opportunity to donate to various causes is always there, and it is very patriotic! My only negative, many people here park in the No Parking, fire lanes. No one at the school does anything about it. No duty aides outside moving cares, notes, or anything to stop the behavior. I asked once and was told "it's always been like that, people don't listen". As a fire wife, this frustrates me to end! I want to know my daughter is safe in her class and has FULL access to emergency personnel if needed. Other than that, we really love being apart of this school!

Most of my teachers loved making learning in the classroom very fun and interesting. The "specials" teachers were amazing and helped me figure out the kind of stuff I love to do. I realize that the school has had a few changes in teachers and principals but I still consider it to be a GREAT school. I made many good memories and have very good friends that I grew up at the school. I always look forward to going back and visiting my teachers. So again I would recommend this school to anyone!

I am a Grandmother, not a parent, so I hope it is alright that I am writing this review. My…read moreGranddaughter goes to Gateway and I just have to say something about it. When you are a grandparent you dont see them every single day like the parents do, so you notice the changes more. You go a few weeks and then you see them and you think my goodness, who is this young lady. She was named STUDENT OF THE WEEK not long ago. I dont think I have ever seen her so proud of herself. She is also taking college classes and she is still in middle school!! I still can not get over that one. When I was her age nobody was telling me I could do college work. Somebody at that school looked at her and said she could do it, and then they gave her the chance and she did it. But I will tell you the truth, the school work is not the part that gets me. Last week she had her first sleepover. Two other girls from school. Her very first one. We went to lunch this week and that is ALL she talked about. What they ate, what they watched, who said what, what they are going to do next time. I just sat there and listened to her. I am not sure I can explain to another grandparent what that is like to sit across the table from a child you love so much and listen to her go on and on about her friends. Not friends someday. Real friends, that came over to the house. That is the part that brought tears to my eyes. I am not ashamed to say it. Gateway did not just figure out how to teach her. They put her somewhere she could be herself, around other kids that understand her, and the confidence came, and then the friendships came. You can not put that on a lesson plan. You can only build the right kind of place and let it happen and that's what these folks have done. To Ms. Robin and all of the teachers and everybody in that building. Thank you. You are educating these children but you are also giving these families something we worry for years we may never get to see. My Granddaughter is proud of herself. She has friends. She talked my ear off at lunch about a sleep over. I am so proud of her I could just burst. If you are looking at Gateway for your child or grandchild, go and see it for yourself. I am only the Grandmother and even I can tell it is a special place. God Bless them all.

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to share our experience with Gateway Academy for other…read moreparents who may be searching for the right school for a child with high-functioning autism, or what Gateway refers to as twice-exceptional students. My son started at Gateway in 7th grade after attending public school since kindergarten. We were actually very fortunate to have had a pretty good experience in public school, especially with the other kids. He had attended the same school since kindergarten and had grown up with many of his classmates, most of whom were still with him in 6th grade. But as he got older, I could see the writing on the wall. Class sizes were getting larger, the kids were growing up, and there had been a few run-ins with bullies. I also didn't love the idea of moving him to a middle school for only two years and then making another major transition to high school. Kids on the spectrum often thrive on routine and familiarity, and my son is certainly no exception. When we found Gateway, it truly felt like a Godsend. The small class sizes were exactly what he needed, and one of the biggest advantages for us was that Gateway goes all the way through 12th grade. He could attend middle school and high school in the same familiar, supportive environment. Many of the teachers have special education backgrounds, but what makes Gateway so special goes far beyond academics. There is a genuinely loving, welcoming culture there. At Gateway, these kids aren't singled out for being different. They're surrounded by other students who understand them. They can be themselves. They have friends. They belong. The teachers are wonderful, as is the office staff. Ms. Robin, Gateway's founder and principal, truly cares about her students, and that caring is reflected throughout the school. Gateway gives students an environment where they can learn at their own pace while also developing friendships, confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging. As a parent, I cannot imagine my son having had the same high school experience in a large traditional high school surrounded primarily by neurotypical students. Those teenage years can be difficult enough, and Gateway gave him a safe place where he was accepted for exactly who he is. My son graduated from Gateway in 2025 and now attends community college. I asked him recently if he misses Gateway. He said yes. So I asked him what, specifically, he misses about it. His answer was simply, "Everything." That answer was both a little sad and incredibly heartwarming for me. More than anything I could write in this review, it confirmed what I had known all along: my son had a wonderful middle and high school experience. He made memories, built friendships, felt accepted, and genuinely enjoyed going to school. As a parent of a child on the spectrum, I don't think you can ask for much more than that. Gateway was also a tremendous resource for our entire family. Through the school, we learned about services and resources available to our son that we otherwise may never have known about. They even connected us with an excellent professional who helped us navigate guardianship and establish a special needs trust as he approached adulthood. Gateway didn't just educate our son--they helped us navigate the journey of raising and preparing a twice-exceptional child for adulthood. For any parent looking for a school for a child on the spectrum, I would recommend Gateway Academy without hesitation. Ms. Robin, Mr. Bloom, Mr. Curt, Mr. Anthony, Mr. Richard, and so many others have made Gateway the special place that it is. We will always be grateful that our son had the opportunity to grow up there. Thank you, Gateway, for giving our son a place where he wasn't simply accommodated, but truly belonged.

On top of the wonderful teachers and small class sizes, they go above and beyond to make special memories for the kids and parents. Tons of teas, brunches, parties, photo ops, and the best graduation ceremonies with a cap and gown. And the end of the year portfolios are full on binders with pictures and everything. Everyone has brought tears to my eyes. We enrolled my daughter at 18 months (started my son around 3). She wasn't talking.
