Gate City Elementary School was an elementary school in the Birmingham City Schools system located at 6910 Georgia Road in the Gate City neighborhood of the East Lake community.
The present school building was constructed in 1955 for the 700 children living at Marks Village public housing, which opened in 1950.
Under recent school consolidation plan proposed by acting superintendent Barbara Allen and approved by the Board of Education, Oliver Elementary School closed in the summer of 2008, with students transferring into Gate City Elementary. It was later decided to rebuild Oliver Elementary and transfer Gate City's students.
