GATEWAY SCIENCE ACAD-SOUTH ELE is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the GATEWAY SCIENCE ACAD/ST LOUIS school district, located in ST. LOUIS, MO with about 423 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 32 teachers, GATEWAY SCIENCE ACAD-SOUTH ELE has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Gateway Science Academy (GSA) South Elementary is a public charter school located in the Holly Hills neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. Serving students in grades K–5, the school is part of the broader Gateway Science Academy network, which is managed by Concept Schools. The institution is defined by a rigorous academic program that places a strong emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, aiming to prepare students for success in an increasingly tech-driven global society.

The school’s pedagogical approach often incorporates a college-preparatory focus, characterized by extended learning time, small class sizes, and a highly structured environment designed to foster both academic achievement and character development. By integrating project-based learning and extracurricular clubs with a traditional core curriculum, GSA South seeks to create a supportive community where students are encouraged to think critically, solve complex problems, and develop a lasting interest in scientific exploration.
