We love Gateway! We have been here for 4 years now and have had great experiences with the Teachers as well as all the staff. Ms. Lorraine at the front desk is always so friendly and helpful! Ms. Harris does a great job of putting the kids needs first and being a great leader! While there are so many things we enjoy at Gateway I just have to call out Ms. Julia, she is out there every morning and afternoon making sure the kids and their parents make us safely accross the street! But what she also does is brings a ray of sunshine to what can be a mundane task of being in the parent pickup line. She’s always smiling and waving to everyone that passes by. Mornings can be stressful, rushing to get everyone to school and to work but every time I see her I can’t help but smile. And I see it on the faces of so many others that cross her path! She is doing a great job and is a wonderful ambassador of the Gateway spirit!

The students are very hostile and rude and will berate your child, spread rumors and take pictures of them to make fun on social media.Some of the special education teachers are rude, inconsiderate and condescending.Do not make the same mistake I did by choosing this school.

My experience at Cooley has been extremely negative. Students have given me death threats, cyberbullied me online, leaked my face without consent, and even physically assaulted me. Instead of addressing these serious issues, the school’s response was to give me a “lunch reflection” as if I was the problem.While some staff members are nice on the surface, they do not actually help when it matters. Many students are incredibly disrespectful, and it makes me question the point of the “Cobra Creed” when almost no one follows it. The environment is toxic, filled with racism and constant use of racial slurs directed at me, even though I rarely speak to anyone.The school gives the appearance that they care, but in reality, they ignore the bigger issues. Overall, this has been one of the most unsafe and hostile school environments I’ve ever experienced.
