Summary:
The Imperial County Office of Education district in California is home to a single high school, Imperial Pathways Charter. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and faces significant challenges, with consistently low statewide rankings, below-average graduation rates, and significantly lower test scores compared to the state average.
Imperial Pathways Charter has a four-year graduation rate of 86.4%, which is slightly below the state average, and a dropout rate of 8.9%, which is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 20.4% in the 2023-2024 school year. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.33% of 12th-grade students and 8.33% of end-of-course students were proficient or better in the CAST/Science assessment, compared to the state average of 28.02% and 32.65%, respectively.
Despite the school's challenges, it is spending more per student than the state average, at $13,015 per student in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school has a high student-teacher ratio of 24.1, which may contribute to the difficulties it faces in serving its student population, which is predominantly from low-income families, with 92.95% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
