Summary

The Phoenix School is a public high school located in Crossville, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 72 students. It is part of the Cumberland County School District, which is ranked 70 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, The Phoenix School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Tennessee high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Phoenix School's small student population of 72 students is significantly lower than the nearby Cumberland County High School (982 students) and Stone Memorial High School (1,020 students). Additionally, the school has consistently low academic performance, with test scores significantly lower than the county and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The Phoenix School also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.5% to 62.1% in recent years, and higher dropout rates, ranging from 5.6% to 9.4%, compared to the nearby schools.

While The Phoenix School's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that the school may be allocating resources differently or facing unique challenges, the data indicates that the school's low-socioeconomic status students perform significantly worse than their peers in the Cumberland County and state. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school's student population.
