Summary

University Pathways Medical Magnet Academy is a small high school in Los Angeles serving grades 9–12, with 110 students; its clearest academic concern is math, where 21% of students met the standard in 2025–2026.

ELA is the school’s strongest area: 54% met the standard, above the state’s 49% and Los Angeles Unified’s 48%. Math was well below both the state (38%) and district (40%), while science was 32%—about level with the district and below the state’s 36%. Among nearby schools with reported 11th-grade scores, University Pathways ranked second behind King/Drew Medical Magnet High in all three subjects, but its 11th graders remained below state and district benchmarks. Completion outcomes are encouraging: the 2025–2026 graduation rate was 96%, compared with 90% in the district and 88% statewide. However, chronic absenteeism was 36%, above the district’s 23% and the state’s 18%.

Scores have improved over the four years shown: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 17 percentage points, math 10 points, and science 16 points, though ELA fell from 59% in 2024–2025 to 54%.
