Catheryn Gates Elementary School

I personally like this school a lot. I had 3 kids attending this school for many years so I had an opportunity to meet many teachers as the years went by. Every teacher has unique gifts, talents and a lot of knowledge to share with their students. Mrs.Patrick the principal of the school is fantastic. I have never met a principal who is so involved in her students education and personal performance. When my kiddo pushed boundaries and had to visit her office she counsel her with wisdom and lots of patients. When was the last time you saw a school principal holding an umbrella during pouring rain doing the yard duty or directing traffic? Better yet, doing a “worm” for Michael Jackson performance?😁
Office Staff is super nice. Every time I went there I was greeted with a smile. Lunch area is always loud, but what do you expect? When 100s of students talk all at the same time. It is normal to see a lunch attendant raise their voice on the occasion in order to silent the students. Not my favorite part but understandable.
This school has a sound teaching, plenty hands on projects and interesting field trips. What I like the best is the opportunity as a parent to be involved in your kids classrooms.

As an educator, I am picky about my kids education. I have found that Gates has exceeded all my standards. The staff is personable and care for there students. The principal is amazing. I have an advanced student and a student who has more challenges in learning and this school amazes me on how They have been able to teach to both styles. I highly recommend Gates!

Great teachers and staff...very welcoming community

My son had a bad experience at another school but when I put him in Cathryn gates they were very welcoming, extremely nice and have awesome teachers! Great staff , my son has excelled in his reading and math within the first year, they are always proving that education is the foundation for our children, I wouldn't put my kids in any other school, we love it!!!!
