Phoenix Academy Of Excellence

Summary:

Phoenix Academy Of Excellence is a small public charter middle school in Miami, Florida, serving just 21 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating.

While Phoenix Academy Of Excellence has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (76.19%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in Florida, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school also has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 55.9% to 76.0% over the past 4 school years, much higher than the 26.0% to 53.1% range of nearby schools like Hialeah Middle School and Georgia Jones Ayers Middle School. Additionally, 100% of Phoenix Academy Of Excellence students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $8,772 to $12,088 over the past 3 school years, Phoenix Academy Of Excellence has not shown any significant improvement in its academic performance or attendance over the past 4 school years. This suggests that the school may be facing deeper systemic challenges that need to be addressed, such as improving student engagement, providing additional academic support, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism.

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.
