Phoenix High School

Summary:

Phoenix High School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Braithwaite, Louisiana, with a total enrollment of 193 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is located in the Plaquemines Parish school district, which is ranked 24th out of 122 districts in Louisiana and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Phoenix High School has maintained a consistently high mathematics proficiency rate of 70% in 2023-2024, exceeding the state average of 59%. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 67% is lower than the Plaquemines Parish average of 79% and the state average of 69%. The school's performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed, with higher proficiency rates in Algebra I (89%) and English I (89%), but lower rates in English II (42%) and U.S. History (21%). Additionally, Phoenix High School has an exceptionally high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite these challenges, the relatively small size of Phoenix High School, with a low student-teacher ratio ranging from 10.1 to 11.7 students per teacher over the past three school years, may provide opportunities for more personalized instruction and support. This could be a strength of the school, potentially contributing to the higher mathematics proficiency rates.

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.
