Pathways Academy Charter School - Adult Education District

Pathways Academy Charter School - Adult Education is the sole school in the Pathways Academy Charter School - Adult Education District, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 179 students. The data paints a concerning picture of this school, which is struggling across multiple key performance indicators.

The school has an extremely low 4-year graduation rate of only 12.6%, well below the state average. Its dropout rate is also alarmingly high at 50.6%, more than double the state average. Additionally, the school faces significant challenges with chronic absenteeism, with 73.8% of students missing a significant amount of instructional time. Academically, the school's test scores are significantly below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 12.05% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 55.73%.

These performance issues are likely exacerbated by the school's high student-teacher ratio of 47.3, which is significantly higher than the state average. While the school serves a relatively high percentage of low-income students, with 32.96% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the data suggests that the school is not effectively meeting the needs of its student population. Overall, the analysis highlights the importance of closely monitoring the performance of all schools, particularly those serving high-need populations, and taking decisive action to address areas of concern and improve educational outcomes for all students.
