Phoenix Elementary School

Summary:

Phoenix Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 300 students in grades K-5 in the Phoenix-Talent School District 4 in Oregon. Unfortunately, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools and struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population.

Phoenix Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.7% of 3rd graders, 18.2% of 4th graders, and 36.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 39%, 41.9%, and 46.9%, respectively. The school's math and science proficiency rates are also well below state and district levels. Additionally, Phoenix Elementary struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking particularly low for English Language Learners and Special Education students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Orchard Hill Elementary School and Talent Elementary School in the same district, as well as several Medford School District schools, it becomes clear that Phoenix Elementary is underperforming its peers. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and its inability to effectively address the needs of its diverse student population may be contributing to its overall academic challenges.

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.
