PATHWAY ACADEMY ELEMENTARY is a Title I public charter elementary school with about 210 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 4th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

With about 21 teachers, PATHWAY ACADEMY ELEMENTARY has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
