Summary

Gateway Pointe Elementary serves 685 students in PK–8 in Gilbert, in the Higley Unified School District. Its 2025–26 fifth-grade ELA proficiency rate was 36%, compared with 38% statewide and 56% in the district; among nearby schools reporting a fifth-grade result, it was lowest, with rates ranging from 38% to 67%. This fifth-grade ELA result is the school’s clearest academic concern.

Across all grades, the school is above Arizona’s rates in both reported subjects but trails its district, and its results compare differently in math and ELA with nearby schools. ELA proficiency was 50%, 9 percentage points above the state and 9 below the district; nearby schools averaged 58%, and the school scored higher than only one of the nine with reported results. Math was stronger locally: the school’s 52% was 19 points above the state, 3 below the district, and about level with the nearby-school average of 52%. The school also had stronger ELA results than the state in grades 3, 4, and 6, at 54%, 59%, and 48%, respectively.

Fifth-grade science has improved: proficiency rose from 24% in 2022–23 to 42% in 2024–25, moving from 10 points below the state to 8 above it. The latest result remained below the district’s 53% and the nearby-school average of 49%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 54 to 68 over two years, but its latest standing was 284th of 900 schools, with 3 stars; six of the eight nearby schools with a current ranking placed higher. SchoolDigger also ranked the school at the 29th percentile for how well it serves White students, compared with its overall 68th percentile; its Female Students ranking rose from the 39th to the 61st percentile over the same two-year period. The student–teacher ratio declined from 18.4 in 2022–23 to 14.7 in 2024–25, around the middle of the nearby range. The only reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 41% in 2022–23; nearby rates were not provided for comparison.
