Pathway Analysis
CTE Pathway Retention Rate by School
Retention = completers / concentrators. Only pathways with 5+ concentrators at a school are colored. Gray = not offered or <5 concentrators. Click a cell for details.
Percentage of student-pathway-level records with a best grade of D or F, sourced from transcript data across all CTE pathways. Only pathways with 5+ graded records shown.
Pathway Completion: The Pipeline Leak
The biggest obstacle to CTE pathway completion is the pipeline leak from concentrator to capstone. This section identifies how many students get stuck and examines gap year scheduling as a primary driver.
Understanding the Gap Year Effect
When students skip a year between concentrator and capstone courses, completion rates drop dramatically. Below: which grades are skipped, which pathways are most affected, and what happens after a gap.
Other Contributing Factors
Beyond scheduling gaps, these additional systemic factors contribute to lower CTE pathway completion rates.

Program CTE Access
How many AVID, EL, and SpEd students have access to CTE pathways, including participants and completers. AVID data shows years of participation based on transcript course history.
