Despite the upstream GaDOE/Georgia Insights file label ('Pathways Graduation Rates'), this is NOT a graduation rate — it measures, among each graduating cohort, the share who completed an Advanced Academic pathway: a coherent course sequence through AP, IB, or dual enrollment. For actual graduation rates see `graduation_rate_4_year_cohort` and `ccrpi_graduation_rate`. One of four sibling topics split from one shared Georgia Insights source — the others are `pathway_completion_ctae`, `pathway_completion_fine_arts`, and `pathway_completion_world_language`. All four read the same bronze workbooks and publish identical (year, district, school) row sets, but the four per-area rates are INDEPENDENT and OVERLAPPING: a student completing more than one pathway is counted in each area, so the rates do NOT partition the cohort. No demographic breakdown.
