Dekalb Path Academy Charter School
I am very disappointed in the leadership at Path Academy. I had a concern that was brought the Principal Cox, about her employee. I asked that the matter be addressed. This leader would constantly send taunting text messages, drive by my home etc. I pray that if there are any concerns of bullying and taunting at Path Academy that those issues are addressed unlike they were with me.

Connie Clark: Enough cannot be said about this school, it is outstanding check-out the overall CRCT scores. Mrs. Cox and the staff does an awesome job, most of the children that attend will be first generations to go off to college. For the cost that it takes to educate, motivate,and inspire a child to want to pursue a higher education my experience is that Path's doing it!!!!! check out the STATS! From a proud parent that's thrilled that Path is around.
