Summary:
The PATH School is the only elementary school located in the Indianapolis, Indiana area, serving students in grades K-8. With a total enrollment of 556 students, the school has a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic (62.41%) and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (81.83%).
Academically, The PATH School is struggling, with significantly lower test scores compared to the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.88% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 9.66% were proficient in Math, compared to state averages ranging from 31.4% to 52.4%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also high at 38.5%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite the school's high spending per student ($13,027) and a student-teacher ratio of 17.3 to 1, the educational outcomes at The PATH School do not seem to reflect this investment. The data suggests that the school may need to implement more effective instructional strategies and interventions to improve student learning and address the challenges faced by its predominantly low-income student population.
