Summary:
Phoenix, Oregon is served by four schools in the Phoenix-Talent School District 4 — two elementary schools, two high schools, and no middle schools — with a combined enrollment of 1,108 students across kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is rated 1 star and ranks 101 of 141 in Oregon, the 28th percentile. Enrollment is concentrated: Phoenix High School (687 students) and Phoenix Elementary School (320) together account for about 91% of students, while Armadillo Community Charter School (77) and Phoenix-Talent Rising Academy (24) are very small.
Each school stands out differently. Phoenix High School has the strongest graduation rate at 93.1%, above the district's 87.8% and the state's 83.0%, and its ELA proficiency of 45.1% edges the state's 43.8%. But its math (16.6%) and science (25.2%) are below the state, and 50.4% of its students are chronically absent, far above the district (35.8%) and state (33.5%). Armadillo Community Charter School posts the lowest graduation rate (56.7%), the highest absenteeism (64.1%), and the lowest math proficiency (5.9%). Phoenix Elementary School has the lowest absenteeism (25.1%) and the highest per-student spending ($22,427), yet its ELA, math, and science results all fall below district and state. Phoenix-Talent Rising Academy reports the city's top ELA (45.8%) and math (58.3%) proficiency, but with only 24 students, no rank history, suppressed science and grade-level scores, and no current absenteeism figure, those results carry real uncertainty.
Across the city, math and science are weak points, and no reported school reaches the state science average of 30.6%. Spending does not track neatly with results, and free/reduced lunch figures above 100% at two schools point to reporting anomalies rather than literal rates. Families should weigh each school's full profile individually.
