Phoenix High

Summary:

Phoenix High is a public high school located in San Jose, California, serving grades 11-12 with a total enrollment of 80 students. It is part of the East Side Union High School District, which is ranked 693 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Phoenix High has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California high schools, with rankings ranging from 1,470 to 2,154 out of over 2,000 schools over the past decade. It has maintained a low 0-2 star rating from SchoolDigger during this time. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as male and low socioeconomic status students, who rank in the bottom 10% of California high schools. Phoenix High has also struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 20% to 71.7% over the past five years, and correspondingly high dropout rates, ranging from 26.1% to 36.4%. Additionally, the school has experienced very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.6% to 69.3% over the past five years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to other high schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Santa Teresa High and Oak Grove High, Phoenix High stands out as an outlier in terms of academic performance and student outcomes. Additionally, despite being located in the same school district, Phoenix High's performance is in stark contrast to some of the higher-performing schools in the San Jose Unified School District, such as Leland High and Pioneer High, which rank among the top 5% and 15% of California high schools, respectively.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
