School Overview

Gateway High School, located on Humboldt Avenue in Chowchilla, California, is a continuation high school designed to provide an alternative educational path for students who may struggle in a traditional comprehensive high school environment.

The school emphasizes a supportive, smaller-setting atmosphere that fosters closer relationships between students and staff. By providing specialized instruction and targeted intervention, Gateway High aims to re-engage students who have fallen behind, providing them with the necessary tools, mentorship, and academic resources to earn their high school diploma and prepare for future career or post-secondary opportunities.
