The school is part of the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 756 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gateway To Graduation Academy consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Texas, with rankings between 1,800-1,900 out of around 1,900 high schools in the state over the past several years. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the years analyzed. Its student population is predominantly Hispanic, with over 95% of students identifying as Hispanic, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. The school has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 56.4% to 61.4% over the past few years, and high dropout rates, ranging from 8.5% to 24.2% during the same period. Additionally, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is significantly below the district and state averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates often in the single digits or low teens.

When comparing Gateway To Graduation Academy to other nearby schools, such as San Benito High School and Harlingen Collegiate High School, the performance gap is quite significant. These other schools have much higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and test scores, highlighting the challenges faced by Gateway To Graduation Academy. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school, over 89%, likely contributes to its academic struggles, and targeted interventions may be necessary to help improve student outcomes.
