Phoenix Academy Of Excellence North

Summary:

Phoenix Academy Of Excellence North stands out as an outlier among the surrounding middle schools. With an extremely small student population, the school is predominantly African American, with chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 51.7% to 73.3% over the past 5 years - significantly higher than the 26.4% to 42.6% rates of nearby schools like Horace Mann Middle School and Carol City Middle School. Academically, Phoenix Academy Of Excellence North performs very poorly, with proficiency rates of 0-9% in English Language Arts and Math, and only 4% in Civics - drastically lower than the surrounding schools and state/district averages.

Despite its small size and underperformance, Phoenix Academy Of Excellence North has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $8,227 to $18,656 over the past 4 years. This raises questions about the efficient and effective use of resources at the school. The data suggests that Phoenix Academy Of Excellence North faces significant challenges that set it apart from the more diverse and higher-performing middle schools in the Miami-Dade district, and further investigation is warranted to understand the root causes and identify potential areas for improvement.

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.
