This article explores and analyses students' attitudes towards the school in the last year of compulsory education and the role these attitudes play in educational pathways. Firstly, the article reviews previous empirical and theoretical approaches to students' attitudes. Based on this theoretical review, we propose a typology of attitudes using data from the International Study of City Youth (ISCY), with a sample of 2056 students from 27 secondary schools in the city of Barcelona. In a second descriptive analysis, we analyzed how certain socio-demographic variables affect adherence to a specific attitude. Finally, applying logistic regression analysis, we explore the role of attitudes in students' educational pathways. The results show that attitudes do not explain much of the resulting pathway, so socio-demographic variables remain influential. Students' performance and behaviours have a significant impact, acting as a mediator to explain subsequent pathways, specifically in the choice to follow an academic pathway (or not) in the transition from compulsory to post-compulsory school. Finally, an interrelationship of attitudes, behaviours and results is observed. The results of this article provide further insight into these processes and their role in the development of students' educational trajectories.
