Pathways Elementary consistently outperforms the Volusia District and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores, with 69% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 62% for Volusia and 55% for Florida.

Additionally, Pathways Elementary has a higher spending per student ($9,243 to $10,998) compared to the state average, which could contribute to its stronger academic performance.
