Pathways Learning Center

Summary:

Pathways Learning Center is a public high school in Beaumont, Texas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 76 students. The school is part of the Beaumont Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 869 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pathways Learning Center faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (89.47%) and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (80.26% to 92.05% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). Academically, Pathways Learning Center consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Texas, with a statewide ranking between 1841 and 1941 out of 1861 to 1987 high schools. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, and its test scores are significantly lower than the Beaumont ISD and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in STAAR Reading and Mathematics for 6th and 7th grades, compared to the Beaumont ISD's 25.99% and 33.87% proficiency, respectively, and the state's 54.45% and 52.08% proficiency.

While Pathways Learning Center struggles academically, some of the nearby schools, such as Beaumont Independent School District (ISD) Early College High School and Nederland High School, perform significantly better in terms of academic achievement, graduation rates, and test scores. Pathways Learning Center's performance is particularly low for African American, Hispanic, and special education students, with the school ranking among the lowest in the state for these subgroups. The school's low ranking and 0-star rating suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student 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.

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.
