Summary

TCA College Pathways is a combined middle and high school serving 502 students in grades 7–12 in Colorado Springs, part of the highly regarded Academy School District No. 20 (ranked 10th out of 115 districts in Colorado). The school has earned a 5-star rating in every reported year since at least 2014–15, and its state ranking has ranged from 4th (2014–15) to 24th (2025–26, 93rd percentile). In 2024–25, TCA College Pathways ranked 7th in the state—the top spot among nearby schools in that year.

Academically, this school is a standout. On the 11th-grade SAT, 90% of students scored proficient in reading and writing versus 60% statewide, while math proficiency reached 56% versus 32% statewide. Eighth-grade CMAS results are especially strong: 86.7% proficiency in ELA (more than double the state's 42.2%), 70% in math, and 70% in science. Graduation rates sit at 95.9% versus 85.6% statewide, and chronic absenteeism (15.6%) is well below both the district (19.7%) and state (28.4%). Subgroup rankings for male and female students have frequently placed in the top 10–25 statewide.

The main areas to watch are 7th-grade achievement and math consistency. Seventh-grade ELA proficiency (46.9%) trails the district (64.5%), creating a nearly 40-point gap with 8th-grade ELA, and 10th-grade PSAT math dropped from 71% to 58% in one year. Also, the student-to-teacher ratio of 23.1 is higher than every nearby school—Pine Creek High School is at 18.8 and The Classical Academy High School at 11.7—yet outcomes remain top-tier. Compared with nearby schools, TCA College Pathways matches or exceeds The Classical Academy High School on several SAT/PSAT metrics, despite serving a wider grade span. Families should consider both the exceptional literacy outcomes and the trade-offs of a leaner staffing model.
