GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at PATHS was great. The teachers are nice and understanding. I liked how the classes where a semester long so you would take 4 classes per semester. Also, the way you can graduate with a technical degree is amazing

I think the school is a genuinely good school, some flaws like some teachers and the rigor level, but in all the school is pretty good and educational.

I enjoyed interacting with the staff who were usually friendly and helping. The teachers in professional and technical high school are for the most part amazing as they care about their students and will usually extend a helping hand to any struggling student. One of the things I would like to see change is the return of certain privilege's we had as students when we first started going to that school that were later taken away. One example is Ricks Café which is a place you use to be able to buy food from during lunch. The reason I enjoyed the option of having Ricks Café food is it gave me the choice as a student to decide whether I wanted the school lunches or to pay money to buy food at Ricks Café. This freedom of choice was something many students enjoyed however the school decided to no longer allow us that freedom. I would enjoy seeing this freedom returned to future and current students.

A wonderful school. I took all 4 years here, and I became in tune with the school spirit. Didn’t regret going here. Once you find your niche, and you begin to adapt, the school becomes a breeze.

I graduated from this school in 2020 and went there for all four years of high school. I can say it was a great school in comparison to others. It’s very focused on academics and they don’t have any school teams or sports. When I went there teachers and the schools staff were very kind and respectfu...

My experience at this school is not a good one. This school is strictly focused on academics and that is fine but they fail to make it a healthy environment and a fun one too. The administration is strict and the air is toxic.
