As Rich Township High School continues to rebrand into academies and career pathways, the
data table listed above shows the enrollment of students in each academy/pathway. The
enrollment data shows which pathways have the highest student interest and which pathways
may need to be reevaluated in order to meet the needs of our students.

Currently, at the FAC campus, the majority of the students are interested in the
Business/Finance and Humanities pathways. These pathways have course sequences that
provide student more elective choices within their academies. The Freshmen academy is the
default academy for our freshmen based on attendance boundary. The sophomore academy is
also determined by attendance boundary.
In the upcoming school year, sophomore students will have an identified pathway that will
cause a decrease in the number of students in the sophomore academy. We are excited to
build specialized opportunities for our students that provide a deeper exploration into career-
focused pathways while providing them the skills for success in college, career, or any post-
secondary endeavor.
