Summary:
The Pathways In Education - West Ada district in Meridian, Idaho, contains just one high school: Pathways In Education - West Ada, serving grades 9 through 12 with a very small enrollment of 79 students. Since the district and school share the same name, this is effectively a single-school district, which means the district-level statistics are identical to the school's own numbers throughout the data.
This small high school is struggling relative to the rest of Idaho. It ranks 115th out of 122 high schools statewide, placing it in the bottom 6% with a 0-star rating, and its district rank is similarly low at 96th out of 101. Academically, the school trails the state by wide margins: only 36.8% of students are proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 61.3%, and just 18.4% are proficient in science versus 41.2% statewide. That means more than 6 in 10 students are below grade level in reading and writing, while fewer than 1 in 5 are proficient in science. The most recent graduation rate stands at 82.5%, meaning roughly 1 in 6 students does not graduate on time.
With such a small enrollment and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4, the school likely has approximately 5 to 6 teachers, and individual cohort results can swing significantly from year to year, making the data less statistically stable than at larger schools. Unfortunately, free and reduced-price lunch data is not reported, so it is not possible to assess how economic factors may play into the school's performance. Overall, Pathways In Education - West Ada is a very small, low-performing high school that clearly needs additional support and intervention to bring its proficiency rates and graduation outcomes closer to state averages.
