Pathfinder Camp

Summary:

Pathfinder Camp is a public charter high school located in Driftwood, Texas, serving grades 5-12 with a total enrollment of 24 students. The school is part of the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 846 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pathfinder Camp has a more diverse student population compared to the surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of African American (33.33%) and Hispanic (29.17%) students. However, the school's academic performance lags significantly behind nearby public high schools, such as Akins High School and Jack C. Hays High School, which have higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall academic achievement. In 2023-2024, only 20% of Pathfinder Camp students were proficient or better in STAAR EOC/Algebra I, compared to 44.73% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.21% to 85% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Pathfinder Camp's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.6 to 8 over the past three school years, could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. The school also spends significantly more per student ($17,618 to $19,871 over the past three years) compared to the surrounding schools, which may be due to the school's small size and specialized programs. Addressing the academic performance issues and leveraging the school's unique characteristics could be crucial for enhancing the educational outcomes for its students.

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.
