Phoenix Academy

Public Grades
Summary

Phoenix Academy is a small public high school in Austin, Texas, serving just 16 students in grades 9-12. Despite its small size, the school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

Phoenix Academy's student population is more racially diverse compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, Phoenix Academy's per-student spending is significantly higher than the nearby schools, ranging from $27,123 to $50,203 per student over the past few years.

When compared to other high schools in the area, such as Richards School For Young Women Leaders and Austin High School, Phoenix Academy's performance is significantly lower, despite serving a more diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges that the other schools are not, and further investigation is needed to understand the factors contributing to its underperformance.
