Summary

Phoenix High School is a small public high school serving just 58 students in grades 9-12 within the Kennewick School District, and it has shown remarkable improvement, climbing from a 1-star to a 3-star rating over the past several years.

This school stands out for its strong academic support, particularly in English and Science, where student proficiency often exceeds both the district and state averages, even though a high percentage of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. With a low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than larger comprehensive high schools like Kennewick High School and Southridge High School, Phoenix provides a specialized, focused learning environment that appears very effective for core academic subjects.

However, it's important to note that Phoenix High's graduation rate is significantly lower than the district and state averages, a pattern it shares with some other alternative programs in the area like Endeavor High School. This suggests the school serves students who may thrive academically in a smaller setting but face challenges in meeting all traditional graduation requirements, making it a vital alternative pathway within the district's educational options.
