Summary:
Gateway Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the Gateway Charter School District in Wilmington, Delaware. The school serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade and has consistently been one of the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.9 to 1 and spending $28,196 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, Gateway Charter School is ranked 104 out of 109 elementary schools in Delaware for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are well below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 20.83% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 43.71%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4% is significantly higher than the state average, indicating a need to address student engagement and attendance issues.
Despite the school's persistent challenges, its performance has remained stagnant over the past decade, with little to no improvement in its state-wide ranking or test scores. This suggests that the school's educational strategies and the support it receives from the Gateway Charter School District may need to be reevaluated to better serve the needs of its students and improve academic outcomes.
