Phoenix Academy Charter School

Phoenix Academy Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Phoenix Academy Charter School district in North Branch, Minnesota. With a total enrollment of 160 students, the school has a predominantly white student population (86.25%) and a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (41.25% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).

While the school's overall academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments, is slightly above the state average in math and reading, its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 666 out of 858 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 576 out of 881 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's academic performance at the individual grade level is more variable, with some grades performing below the state average.

Compared to other schools in Minnesota, Phoenix Academy Charter School is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.7 is slightly higher than the state average, which may present challenges in providing personalized attention to students. Overall, the data suggests that the school has room for improvement in academic outcomes, particularly for its economically disadvantaged student population.
