Summary

Sequoia Pathway Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Maricopa, Arizona, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 752 students. The school is operated by Edkey Inc. - Sequoia Pathway Academy district.

Sequoia Pathway Academy has seen fluctuating four-year graduation rates, ranging from 70.6% to 78.4%, which is lower compared to the nearby Chandler Online Academy and Paragon Science Academy, both of which had 78.4% four-year graduation rates in 2023-2024. The school's dropout rates have also been higher, ranging from 5.2% to 26.7%, compared to the 5.2% dropout rate reported for Chandler Online Academy and Paragon Science Academy. Additionally, Sequoia Pathway Academy's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels.

The significant decrease in spending per student at Sequoia Pathway Academy, from $6,853 in 2018-2019 to $3,087 in 2021-2022, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance metrics. This is lower than the nearby Chandler Online Academy ($9,578 in 2021-2022) and Keystone Montessori Charter School ($14,594 in 2019-2020). The rising percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds at Sequoia Pathway Academy, from 21.72% in 2021-2022 to 44.84% in 2022-2023, may also indicate a need for additional support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by this population.
