Phenix City

Summary:

The Phenix City school district in Alabama consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse socioeconomic and racial backgrounds. The data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance, with standout schools like Lakewood Elementary School ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while others, such as Westview Elementary School, struggle with low proficiency rates.

The high-performing Lakewood Elementary School and Sherwood Elementary School stand out with exceptional test scores, particularly in English, and strong rankings within the state. In contrast, Phenix City Elementary School and Westview Elementary School face challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages. The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance, highlighting the need to address the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students.

The lone high school in the district, Central High School, has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its ranking ranging from 103 to 124 out of 371-378 Alabama high schools. This instability in the school's performance indicates the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure consistent quality education for all students in the Phenix City school district.
