School Overview

Gateway/Hubert Wheeler School, located in St. Louis, Missouri, operates as a specialized state school under the oversight of the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). It is part of a network of state-operated schools designed to provide high-quality, intensive educational and therapeutic services to students with complex special education needs. The facility is dedicated to supporting students who require a more specialized environment than what may be available in a traditional local school district setting.

The school’s mission focuses on fostering independence and functional development through a multidisciplinary approach. By integrating individualized educational plans (IEPs) with therapeutic support services, the staff at Gateway/Hubert Wheeler works to address the unique behavioral, communication, and academic requirements of each student. Their programming emphasizes preparing students for life beyond the classroom, ensuring that each individual is provided with the specific resources and environment necessary to reach their fullest potential in a supportive and structured academic community.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
