What Parents Should Know
At 31 students, Pathways Program Grades 8-12 is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
Pathways Program Grades 8-12 sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.
97% of students at Pathways Program Grades 8-12 were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
