Gateway Middle School Local Control and Accountability Plan 2026-2027

This Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for Gateway Middle School, covering the 2026-2027 school year, is built upon a foundational 2025-2030 Strategic Plan. The LCAP outlines three core goals: fostering academic excellence and student support through rigorous, culturally responsive instruction and targeted interventions; ensuring all students achieve college and career readiness by providing meaningful exploration, personalized postsecondary planning, and diverse experiences; and cultivating a safe, inclusive, and supportive school climate that strengthens belonging, reduces disproportionality, and offers targeted social-emotional and behavioral supports. The plan emphasizes addressing disparities in opportunities and outcomes for all students, with a particular focus on high-needs student groups, through strategic resource allocation and continuous engagement with educational partners.
