Does Gateway Academy (GA) administer standardized testing? Yes, students at GA (3rd through 8th) take the ELA and Math state tests every year. High School students take the SAT standardized test.  

What makes GA a safe school? GA's first priority is security: GA staffs an armed security guard during the schoolweek; most of our facility, inside and out, is video monitored; parents and guests are screened before entering our building; staff are continually trained for fire and lock down drills; and all staff undergo rigorous background checks.
