Summary:
The Pathways Academy Charter School - Adult Education District has one high school, Pathways Academy Charter School - Adult Education, serving grades 9–12 and 637 students. With no other high schools in the district list, families can compare its results with California’s statewide figures and its own past performance. The most urgent concern in the reported figures is that graduation is 48 percentage points below the state, while chronic absenteeism is 45 points higher.
Pathways has a sharply mixed academic profile: science is above the state, while ELA is far below. In 2025–26, proficiency was 39% in science compared with 36% statewide, 34% in math compared with 38%, and 27% in ELA compared with 49%. The gaps were 3 points above the state in science, 5 below in math, and 23 below in ELA; grade-specific results show the same contrast, with 12th-grade science 6 points above the state and 11th-grade ELA 31 points below. Graduation was 40% versus 88% statewide, dropout was 21% versus 8%, and chronic absenteeism was 63% versus 18%. Because this is the only listed school, there is no school-to-school leader or range to report.
Math and science proficiency rose considerably from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while ELA edged down: math increased by 21 points, from 12% to 34%, and science by 23 points, from 16% to 39%; ELA moved slightly lower, from 27% to 27%. SchoolDigger’s ranking also improved, from 1,812th of 2,159 schools and the 16th percentile in 2023–24 to 965th of 2,137 and the 55th percentile in 2025–26; its rating rose from 1 to 3 stars. As context, the school reported 47% free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–25 and a student–teacher ratio of 190.1 for that year; these are observations, not explanations for its outcomes.
