PHOENIX HIGH SCHOOL

Phoenix High is a Title I public high school that is part of the East Side Union High school district, located in San Jose, CA with about 77 students offering grade levels from 11th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 4 teachers, Phoenix High has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Phoenix High School, located on Snell Road in San Jose, is an alternative education institution within the East Side Union High School District. The school is specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a more personalized, non-traditional learning environment. By offering smaller class sizes and a more flexible curriculum, Phoenix High aims to help students who have struggled in a traditional comprehensive high school setting to recover credits, stay on track for graduation, and develop the academic skills necessary for their post-secondary goals.

Beyond its academic focus, the school places a strong emphasis on social-emotional support and community building. Recognizing that students often face unique barriers to success, the staff at Phoenix High prioritize individualized attention, mentorship, and a supportive campus culture. The school’s mission centers on empowering students to overcome challenges, restore their academic standing, and foster the personal resilience needed to succeed both in the classroom and in their future endeavors.
