Pathway Community Day

Summary:

Pathway Community Day is a small public high school in Fresno, California, serving grades 7-12 and part of the Central Unified school district. With just 10 students, the school has a unique racial makeup and faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools, including high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance.

Pathway Community Day stands out from the surrounding schools in several key ways. Its student body is 30% White, 10% African American, 50% Hispanic, and 10% two or more races - quite different from the higher percentages of Hispanic and African American students at nearby schools like Roosevelt High and Edison High. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 70% to 100% over the past few years, far exceeding the 17.9% to 61.9% rates at surrounding schools.

Academically, Pathway Community Day lags behind its peers, with only 25% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 9.09% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2022-2023 school year. This is well below the performance of the Central Unified district and the state of California. The school's small size and high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds may contribute to these challenges, suggesting opportunities for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of this student population.

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.
