Hands down the Best Staff, Best Principal and most caring kids in the world. My son is in the GATE program and has attended for 4 years! He has thrived in this school. Best decision I have made as a parent.

My son was tested for GATE as a 1st grader at Lincoln Crossing Elementary. While waiting for the results to come in, we pondered the thought of what we would do if he was identified as GATE. Are we going to send him there or not? The overall looks of the school was bad in comparison to others and the school ratings was even worst. After being identified as GATE and attending the initial parent/teacher conference we've made up our mind to send our son to First Street GATE as a 2nd grader. It didn't take long before we realized that it was about the best decision we could have made for him. His teacher, Mrs. Gonzales is a WONDERFUL TEACHER. I've helped out in her classroom weekly to get a first hand experience in her mastery of the class as a whole; loving at all times but tough when it needs to be. He loves going to school and being challenged. He loves being surrounded by kids with similar interests and learning levels. Of course, if you can pull your own weight then you'll need to find another school... but you'll be surprised how quickly kids morph into their new surroundings and methods of learning. We hope Mrs. Gonzales is there for our other two sons when it is their time.
