Vilonia Pathways Academy

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Vilonia Pathways Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Vilonia, Arkansas, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 145 students. The school is part of the Vilonia School District, which is ranked 27th out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Vilonia Pathways Academy's performance is generally lower than the Vilonia School District and the state of Arkansas averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40.7%) and Mathematics (22.7%) are significantly lower than the district (48.5% and 51.8%, respectively) and state (33.8% and 36.4%, respectively) averages. However, the school's 8th-grade performance in English Language Arts (78.5%) and Reading (78.5%) is notably higher than the comparisons. The school also has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (35.86%) compared to the district and state, suggesting it serves a more economically disadvantaged population.

Despite the overall lower academic performance, Vilonia Pathways Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, which could be a potential advantage for the school. Additionally, the school's focus on alternative education may contribute to its unique approach and the challenges it faces. While the school has room for improvement, particularly in Geometry and other core subject areas, its strengths in specific grade levels and its commitment to serving a diverse student population are noteworthy.
