Summary:
Gateway is a small Massachusetts district with three schools — two elementary schools serving PK–5 and one combined middle-and-high school serving grades 6–12 — enrolling 707 students in total. At the district level, Gateway ranks 218 of 351, the 38th percentile, with 2 stars. Because there is no separate middle school, middle-grade results appear inside the secondary school. This extract covers MCAS Next Generation results for 2025–2026 with some 2024–2025 comparisons, graduation and dropout rates for 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios for 2024–2025, and per-student spending from 2020–2021; free/reduced-lunch figures are blank and therefore excluded.
Chester Elementary is the clear standout: ranked 166 of 899, the 82nd percentile, with 4 stars, and above both district and state in all three subjects. Its math proficiency of 67.50% is 26.39 points above the state's 41.11%, and its ELA (52.50%) and science (60.00%) also outpace the state. It is also the smallest school, with 114 students. Littleville Elementary is more polarized — ranked 562 of 899, the 37th percentile, 2 stars — with strong science at 52.78% (11.80 points above state) but weak all-grade math at 26.50%, 14.61 points below state, including 3rd-grade math at 13.95% and 5th-grade math at 19.44%.
Gateway Regional School is the district's main concern: 267 of 353, the 24th percentile, 1 star, with rank history sliding from the 40th to the 34th to the 24th percentile. It trails the state in ELA, math, and science, with 10th-grade results and physics especially low — physics End of Course at 3.45% versus the state's 46.58%. Biology is a bright spot at 54.55%, and 6th- and 7th-grade math exceed state levels before dropping sharply in 8th grade. Notably, Gateway Regional has the lowest student-teacher ratio (7.7) and the highest per-student spending ($22,375) yet the weakest results, while Chester achieves more with a higher ratio and slightly lower spending — though the spending data are several years older, and Chester's small size may make its results more variable.
