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 have been going to urban pathways for 12 years now and to be honest its a decent school but its not the best. there are definitely some things that need to change but its s choice for most people. the teachers here are great not all but most of them. Administration is ok but there are things that can be fixed. Urban Pathways is an all black school with at least 2% white and 3% Hispanic. Overall Urban has things that need to be fixed but its a good school. They prepare you for college and your after high school career. Like I said Urban Pathways is decent and has lots of things that can be fixed but overall not that bad.

The school is a great school when it comes to learning and readiness. The only down part is since our school is located in the middle of the city, we don't have many sports. The only sport that the school has is basketball and cheer. since our school isn't big on sports we do have lots of clubs. Such as dance, anime, arts, tutoring, and many other engaged clubs. The Teacher in the school are big on making sure the students are understanding the material. Since I've attended this school since 6th grade, I'm saying this school is a great environment for children who want to pursue a college or trade bound future.

The education provided is worthwhile and the location is pretty convenient for students of all locations however it's pretty forgettable and not many people know it exists.

The school is not like it used to be. The teachers are young and inexperienced. The administrators have no patience or creativity in stopping the bad behavior of the majority of the students. It's just really sad to see a school that was once great turn out this way.
