PHOENIX SECONDARY

Phoenix Secondary is a Title I public high school that is part of the Fresno Unified school district, located in Fresno, CA with about 69 students offering grade levels from 7th 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 12 teachers, Phoenix Secondary has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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 Secondary, located at 5090 E Church in Fresno, California, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools (FCSS). It serves as a community-based school designed to support students who require an alternative educational environment, often focusing on those who have struggled in traditional comprehensive high school settings or who need credit recovery options to stay on track for graduation.

The school is structured to provide a smaller, more personalized classroom setting, which allows for increased individualized attention from teachers and support staff. By prioritizing social-emotional learning alongside academic instruction, Phoenix Secondary aims to help students overcome personal or behavioral challenges, develop a positive academic trajectory, and prepare for their future post-graduation goals, whether that involves transitioning back to a traditional school or moving toward career and college pathways.
