Queens gateways high school is a pretty good school. It is an accelerated school so you are able to take certain classes early in order to take the required classes early. Academically this school is very good. They offer a lot of AP classes and a lot of the teachers are friendly and nice. However the teachers here tend to give a lot of work. There really aren't many clubs, only sport teams are really present. There aren't many electives either making it harder for a variety of classes you can choose. If you come to this school expecting a health science program then you're out of luck, this school used to be in partnership with a hospital but not anymore. The population of this school is small, and it can be a blessing or a curse. There aren't many people and it's easier to go on trips or to gather everyone. However this means less school funds, less people willing to participate, and less people to do other stuff that are extra curricular.
I have attended this Queens Gateway since the 6th grade and now I’m currently in 10th grade. The environment at a school is always important considering we go there 5 days a week, the school is clean along with their bathroom and the classrooms are well structured. Teachers are considerate about any confusions you have during the class, very friendly and take their time to help you understand the material. However, one thing this school doesn’t provide as much are clubs and extracurricular activities they do have a few sports, but other than that I wish that they include more so that students can explore different areas to learn about what they may be passionate about. For instance, I never knew I was interested in volleyball until I joined the team on my school and now I enjoy playing volleyball so much and it makes me relieved and happy when I do play. Overall academic wise the school is great provides many ap courses for you take etc.
Queens Gateway seems to be different from how surveys portayed it to be when I first applied for highschool. It is more diverse, cleaner, safer, and full of friendly-approachable people. Speaking from a student's perspective involved in sports, we lack variety in sports and clubs in comparison to other high schools(middle schoolers in our school dont have their own sports or clubs at all).
