Pathways in Education-Louisiana Inc.

Summary:

Pathways in Education-Louisiana Inc. is a public charter high school in Shreveport, Louisiana, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 482. The school is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which is ranked 90 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pathways in Education has a more balanced racial composition compared to the surrounding schools, with 46.06% White, 47.72% African American, and smaller percentages of Hispanic, Asian, and other races. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on state assessments (LEAP/EOC) are generally lower than the Caddo Parish and Louisiana averages across subjects like Algebra I, English II, U.S. History, and Biology. Pathways in Education's student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, and low socioeconomic status students, also perform poorly compared to state and district averages, with many ranking in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools.

Pathways in Education's academic performance lags significantly behind the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Caddo Parish Magnet High School, C.E. Byrd High School, and Captain Shreve High School, which have much higher proficiency rates and state rankings. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (45.02% in 2022-2023) may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, as research has shown a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes.

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.

Pathways is a wonderful school that really cares about the kids, there is no drama or discipline issues and the kids all seem really happy. The kids get to go on some amazing trips, including a trip to their camp in Colorado - for FREE! Many of the kids come from Home School or from local schools that weren't doing much for them. Pathways catches them up and really teaches them. Close Quote

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.
