Pathways in Education

Public, Charter, Virtual Grades 9-12

Summary

Pathways in Education is a public charter high school located in Phoenix, Arizona, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 153 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic (74.51%) and significant representation of Native American (7.19%) and African American (6.54%) students.

Despite its diverse student body, Pathways in Education consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools, with a statewide ranking between 379-433 out of 509-469 schools over the past three years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average, with only 9% of 11th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and 4% proficient in Mathematics. Pathways in Education has also struggled with high dropout rates, ranging from 14% to 24.7% over the past five years, and a very low four-year graduation rate, ranging from 13.6% to 25.5% over the same period. These metrics are in stark contrast to nearby high-performing charter schools like Phoenix College Preparatory Academy (93.6% graduation rate) and Arizona School for the Arts (95.1% graduation rate).

Pathways in Education serves a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 86.98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools such as Phoenix Union Bioscience High School (64.86%) and Arizona School for the Arts (57.61%). This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively serving its predominantly disadvantaged student population, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support. However, the presence of Pathways in Education also underscores the importance of school choice and the diversity of educational options available in the Phoenix area.
