Summary

Pathways in Education-Louisiana Inc. is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Shreveport, Louisiana, with a student population of 416. The school is part of the Caddo Parish school district, which is ranked 84 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pathways in Education-Louisiana Inc. consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 8 years, indicating very low academic performance. The school's performance on state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, and its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 22.4% and 83.2% in recent years, significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 21.9% to 28.2% in recent years.

When compared to other high schools in the Shreveport area, such as Caddo Parish Magnet High School, which consistently ranks in the top 3% of Louisiana high schools, Pathways in Education-Louisiana Inc. significantly underperforms. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of the school's educational model and the need for more effective interventions and oversight to support the success of its students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Pathways is a wonderful school that really cares about the kids, there is no drama or discipline issues and the kids all seem really happy. The kids get to go on some amazing trips, including a trip to their camp in Colorado - for FREE! Many of the kids come from Home School or from local schools that weren't doing much for them. Pathways catches them up and really teaches them. Close Quote
