When compared to nearby schools, such as Rrisd Early College High School, which is located about 7 miles away, Gateway Technical High School generally underperforms in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and dropout rates. The school's relatively low per-student spending, ranging from $5,138 to $6,427 over the past few years, and high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 51:1 to 88.6:1, may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. To improve, the school should focus on implementing more consistent and effective strategies, addressing the needs of underperforming student subgroups, and ensuring adequate resource allocation to support student success.
