The Phoenix Program Naples

Summary:

The Phoenix Program Naples is an alternative public school serving grades 4-12 in the Collier School District in Naples, Florida, with a diverse student population of 181 students, the majority of whom are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $15,160 to $25,942 over the past four years, The Phoenix Program Naples faces significant challenges. The school has extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 0% to 8.3% over the past five years, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 60.5% to 78.6% over the past five years, much higher than the state and district averages. The Phoenix Program Naples also consistently underperforms the Collier School District and the state of Florida on a wide range of standardized tests, with proficiency rates often less than half of the district and state averages.

In comparison, nearby charter schools such as Naples Classical Academy, Optima Classical Academy, and Mason Classical Academy significantly outperform The Phoenix Program Naples on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism, while also having lower per-student spending and student-teacher ratios. These findings suggest that The Phoenix Program Naples may need to closely examine its strategies and interventions to better support its unique student population and improve student outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
