Summary:
The Imperial County Office of Education district in California is home to a single high school, Imperial Pathways Charter, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 206 students.
Imperial Pathways Charter appears to be an underperforming school, with concerning metrics across several key areas. The school has a low 4-year graduation rate of 50.0% and a high dropout rate of 50.0%, both of which are significantly worse than the state averages. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests is very low, with only 3.97% of 12th graders and 3.95% of all students scoring proficient or better on the CAST/Science assessment, compared to the state average of 26.73% for 12th graders and 30.7% overall. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4%, which may be a reflection of the challenges faced by students in the virtual charter school format.
Further compounding the issues at Imperial Pathways Charter is the high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 95.15% of the student population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 26:1, suggests that the school may be struggling to provide the necessary support and resources to help its students succeed. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the performance and outcomes at Imperial Pathways Charter High School, indicating a need for significant improvement to better serve its students and community.
