Summary

Gateway High is a public charter high school located in San Francisco, California, serving 475 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Gateway High District, which is ranked 455 out of 1,543 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gateway High consistently performs well academically, ranking in the top 20-25% of California high schools in recent years. Its 11th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly higher than the state averages, and the school maintains a high 4-year graduation rate ranging from 86.2% to 97.5%, on par with or better than nearby schools like Mission High and Galileo High. Gateway High also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, with its White and Special Education populations ranking in the top 10-20% of California high schools.

While Gateway High's academic achievements and graduation rates are noteworthy, the school could focus on improving its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which has ranged from 17.5% to 30.0% in recent years. Additionally, the school serves a diverse student population, with 39.58% to 49.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it spends significantly more per student ($13,656 to $19,634) compared to the state average, which may contribute to its strong performance.
