Pathways in Education

Summary:

Pathways in Education is a public charter high school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 153 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (74.51%) and significant representation of Native American (7.19%) and African American (6.54%) students.

Despite its diverse student body, Pathways in Education consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools, with a statewide ranking between 379-433 out of 509-469 schools over the past three years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average, with only 9% of 11th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and 4% proficient in Mathematics. Pathways in Education has also struggled with high dropout rates, ranging from 14% to 24.7% over the past five years, and a very low four-year graduation rate, ranging from 13.6% to 25.5% over the same period. These metrics are in stark contrast to nearby high-performing charter schools like Phoenix College Preparatory Academy (93.6% graduation rate) and Arizona School for the Arts (95.1% graduation rate).

Pathways in Education serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 86.98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools such as Phoenix Union Bioscience High School (64.86%) and Arizona School for the Arts (57.61%). This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively serving its predominantly disadvantaged student population, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support. However, the presence of Pathways in Education also underscores the importance of school choice and the diversity of educational options available in the Phoenix area.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
