This is the first time that my son has been happy to go to school in his whole life. He is not even upset that he needs to go there during the summer!! He has made connections with other kids and the staff truly understands what he needs. This school has been a life saver.

I'm a student @ Pathways and its a nice school with some great advantages. Some of the things that separate Pathways from public schools are its community involvement, SI rooms (rooms with beds) and lack of bullies.

I currently attend this school. I am 17 years old and have been attending for a wile now, although much of the staff is responsible they are very afraid of discipline. This is where the problems generally start... If a student informs a teacher of an issue hes having they are supposed to inform the principle or a counselor, That being said no teacher wants to report something that could get them or a co worker in trouble. If a student asks to speak to the principle or a counselor themselves the teacher will, without even checking, tell you that they are unavailable. Despite all these things it is a great school for a child who for whatever reason, may not need the educational part of the program. the teachers are very good at dodging subjects that upset students, this also becomes a problem, If a student wants to get a full valuable education they cant. This is because the teachers don't in any way promote participation, If a student wants to leave class there are no questions asked they just leave. I have never heard of such a lack of respect for education. If your considering having your child attend then you should consider does s/he need a content based education or emotional?
