Attending Gates High School changed my high school experience and help me gain and received my high school credits, while being on track to graduate this year on 2018. Student Staff cares about your education and wanting all students to graduate. Campus is very small up to 120+ students and I recommend anyone credit deficent, or struggle with depression etc or you wanting to graduate early. The school gives you plenty of time to get all your work done each of all the terms. plus you attend GSA for the first week of your school and if you complete it you'll receive 0.25 credits, also you can get up to 10 credits per year depending on what term you start.
I love this school. I get one-on-one time with my teachers whenever I need it. They know everyone personally. They help you even if you don't ask. They are there to help you graduate, they want to see you succeed.
Overall since I have been at Gates High School I would say I enjoy the diversity. There is never a dull moment here because something is always happening. The teachers are very involved the principles and counselors are also always around.
