PHOENIX HIGH SCHOOL

Phoenix High School is a public high school that is part of the Gwinnett County school district, located in Lawrenceville, GA with about 499 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 27 teachers, Phoenix High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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 West Pike Street in Lawrenceville, Georgia, is a unique educational institution within the Gwinnett County Public Schools system. Unlike a traditional four-year high school, Phoenix operates as a "school of choice" designed to provide a flexible and personalized learning environment. It is primarily focused on students who may benefit from a non-traditional setting, such as those looking to accelerate their graduation timeline, recover credits, or balance their education with outside responsibilities like work or family commitments.

The school is well-regarded for its self-paced, mastery-based curriculum, which allows students to progress through coursework as they demonstrate proficiency in each subject. Because of this specialized structure, the atmosphere at Phoenix is typically more mature and individualized than a standard high school. By offering smaller class sizes and a supportive academic environment, Phoenix High School provides a critical pathway to graduation for students who need an alternative approach to help them achieve their high school diploma and prepare for post-secondary success.
