South Georgia Regional Achievement Center- The Phoenix is a small public high school in Albany, Georgia, serving grades 6-12 with just 47 students. This school is part of the Dougherty County School District, which is ranked 167 out of 201 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.
The school stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (87.23%) compared to surrounding schools, as well as its extremely low proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels, with 0% proficiency in many cases. This is well below the Dougherty County and Georgia state averages. Additionally, the school has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population, and a very low student-teacher ratio of 3.9.
While the small size of the school may present both advantages and challenges, its proximity to another low-performing school, Dougherty Comprehensive High School, suggests a need for collaboration and resource-sharing to address the common challenges they face. In comparison, the Worth County Achievement Center serves a similar population but has slightly higher test scores and a higher four-year graduation rate, indicating it may be more effective in supporting its students.
