Academically, Phoenix Academy Charter School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 666 out of 858 Minnesota elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 576 out of 881 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in Math (46.48%) and Reading (46.48%) are slightly above the state averages, but its Science proficiency (36.84%) falls below the state average of 39.56%. Performance varies across grade levels, with 3rd and 4th-grade Math proficiency below the state average, while 6th-grade Reading proficiency is above the state average.
With a student-teacher ratio of 17.7, which is slightly higher than the state average, Phoenix Academy Charter School may face challenges in providing individualized attention and support to its students. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate suggests that it serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which could be a factor in its academic performance and may require additional resources and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of this student population.
