Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Gateway Academy is a public high school located in Haverhill, Massachusetts, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 103 students. The school faces significant challenges, with declining graduation rates and increasing dropout rates compared to previous years.

Gateway Academy's academic performance is a major concern, as the school significantly underperforms compared to the Haverhill district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS test scores. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10% of 10th-grade students at Gateway Academy were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.1% in Haverhill and 50.66% statewide. The school also struggles in mathematics, with only 4.55% of all students proficient or better, compared to 29.3% in Haverhill and 40.74% statewide. Additionally, Gateway Academy's graduation rates have declined from 82.2% in 2021-2022 to 63.6% in 2022-2023, while dropout rates have increased from 9.6% in 2021-2022 to 11.8% in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, Gateway Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.5 to 12 students per teacher over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the nearby Haverhill High School, which has a ratio of 13.3 students per teacher. However, Gateway Academy's spending per student is also lower than Haverhill High, at $12,903 per student in 2020-2021 compared to $15,847 at Haverhill High. These factors may contribute to the school's academic underperformance and suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's resources, teaching practices, and support systems to address these issues and improve outcomes for its students.
