Pathways Charter

Summary:

Pathways Charter is an alternative public charter school located in Rohnert Park, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 309 students. The school is part of the Pathways Charter District.

Pathways Charter is performing well in several key areas compared to nearby alternative schools. In 2021-2022, the school had a 93.0% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average of 86.1%. Additionally, Pathways Charter had a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 7.2% in 2022-2023, compared to 50-60% at nearby Sonoma County Special Education and Sonoma County Court. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions, such as 4th and 5th grade ELA where Pathways Charter outperformed the state.

Pathways Charter could benefit from benchmarking against higher-performing nearby charter schools, such as Orchard View and Heartwood Charter, to identify best practices and strategies that could be implemented to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's high proportion of students from low-income families, with 46.28% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its lower test scores, and the school may need to explore additional support and resources to address this challenge.

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.
