Gateway Public Schools

About Gateway Public Schools
Gateway Public Schools is a public, charter school organization located in the Western Addition neighborhood of San Francisco. Gateway High School was founded fifteen years ago by a group of parents to provide a college preparatory education to a diverse community of learners. Building on the success of the high school, in 2011 Gateway launched Gateway Middle School. Today, both schools are fully enrolled with 775 students. Students are enrolled via lottery and annually 96% -100% of students graduate from Gateway High School and attend colleges around the country.

In addition to providing high quality public education to our students, we seek to accomplish two important broader goals:
1) By ensuring that each of our students (more than 75% of whom are students of color, more than 40% are first-generation college-bound, and more than 25% have diagnosed learning disabilities) has post-secondary opportunities, we hope to help change the demographics of the college-bound population in San Francisco;
2) By serving as model public schools, we hope to demonstrate that public education can and does work for diverse learners, share our best practices, and, as such, serve as a change agent within the public sphere
