Summary:
The 70040 zip code area is home to a single alternative public school, Phoenix High School, which serves grades PK-12 and has a total enrollment of 215 students. The school is part of the Plaquemines Parish school district, which is ranked 23rd out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Phoenix High School stands out for its relatively high 83.2% four-year graduation rate and low 3.3% dropout rate, both of which are better than state averages. However, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%. In terms of academic performance, the school's mathematics and English language arts proficiency rates are generally higher than state averages, with some grades outperforming the district as well. The school's performance on end-of-course exams is mixed, with some subjects performing better than the state and others lagging behind.
Notably, Phoenix High School has a high percentage of students (76.28%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.8 may contribute to more personalized attention and support for students. Overall, while Phoenix High School is performing reasonably well in several areas, there are still opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing factors that may be contributing to higher chronic absenteeism and uneven performance on certain assessments.
