Robertson County Phoenix Academy

Summary:

Robertson County Phoenix Academy is an alternative public school in Springfield, Tennessee, serving grades 4-12 with a total enrollment of 84 students. The school is part of the Robertson County School District, which is ranked 113 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students compared to the overall district, its academic performance consistently underperforms the Robertson County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (6.3%), English Language Arts (6.7%), and Biology I (15.4%) are significantly lower than the county and state averages. This trend has persisted over the past few years, with only a few subjects, such as English II and US History, showing slightly better performance compared to the district and state.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Merrol Hyde Magnet School in the Sumner County district and Riverside Academy in the Cheatham County district consistently outperform Robertson County Phoenix Academy and the Robertson County district as a whole, with proficiency rates well above the state averages. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Robertson County Phoenix Academy to learn from the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for its students.

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.
