Phoenix Horizon Community

Summary:

Phoenix Horizon Community is a small public high school in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with just 89 students. As part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 80 out of 159 districts in the state, Phoenix Horizon Community has consistently underperformed academically compared to its peers.

The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across core subjects like English, Math, Reading, and Social Studies. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 23% of 11th-grade students at Phoenix Horizon Community were proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 49% in the Scott County district and 44% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate of 92.4% is slightly higher than the 90.6% rate at the larger Scott County High School, but its academic performance remains consistently in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools.

Phoenix Horizon Community serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 67.42% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 40.1% at Scott County High School. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio may present unique challenges in supporting the needs of this student population, especially given its proximity to the larger and higher-performing Great Crossing High School and Scott County High School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
