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.

I think the school environment si very welcoming and open. I have learned so much from the amazing staff at that school and they have really prepared me for the world outside of high school. With their classes in professionalism, in balancing check books, and especially the shops, you learn to be self-sufficient and solve problems on your own.

Pathfinder tech is a wonderful school overall. it offers intensive academic programs along with well round-technical programs. students work on a week-on-week off schedule between academic and technical programs. this allows students to gain skills that they can apply within a workspace beginning in the middle of junior year or once graduate.

I loved the diversity within this school. I enjoyed the opportunity to explore all the trade options. It helped me develop both school, life and work skills. Just because you go to a trade school does not mean you can not go to college!! I graduated, went to community college then transferred to a 4-year university.
