Summary

Phoenix High School is a public high school located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 873 students. It is part of the Gwinnett County School District, which is ranked 67 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being in the same school district, Phoenix High School consistently underperforms compared to nearby schools like Mountain View High School, Peachtree Ridge High School, Brookwood High School, and Dacula High School. Phoenix High School's academic performance, as measured by Milestones Assessments, is significantly lower than the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages. Additionally, its four-year graduation rate of 84-85% is below the Gwinnett County average of 85.4%.

One potential contributing factor to Phoenix High School's challenges is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29.4% to 51.66% in recent years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which have rates ranging from 39.92% to 77.29%. Despite its proximity to higher-performing schools, such as the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology, which is ranked #1 in the state, Phoenix High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, August 21, 2018

I attended Phoenix for my junior and senior years of high school, graduating in Spring of 2014. Phoenix allowed me to have an alternative schedule, giving me time to work and save up for college. The teachers were amazing, passionate about helping students who might be in less than ideal situations (and those who just wanted a different learning environment, like me), and were always willing to go above and beyond to do what the students needed. Don't get me wrong, they were not pushovers and none of them took any crap from the students, but Phoenix teachers genuinely care about their students. I'm in school to be a teacher now, and I would love to go teach at Phoenix at some point in my career. Close Quote
