THE PHOENIX SCHOOL

The Phoenix School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Cumberland County school district, located in Crossville, TN with about 85 students offering grade levels from 10th 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 15 teachers, The Phoenix School 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.

The Phoenix School, located in Crossville, Tennessee, serves as an alternative educational facility within the Cumberland County School District. Designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, the school focuses on providing personalized academic instruction to help pupils stay on track for graduation. By offering a smaller setting compared to conventional high schools, Phoenix aims to address the individual needs of its students, fostering a supportive atmosphere that emphasizes both academic recovery and behavioral development.

The institution functions as a vital resource for students seeking to overcome academic obstacles or personal challenges that have hindered their progress in a standard classroom setting. Through a structured curriculum and a committed faculty, the school provides an opportunity for students to earn their credits, improve their skills, and ultimately prepare for post-secondary success. Its mission is deeply rooted in providing a second chance for success, ensuring that all students—regardless of their prior academic history—have the tools and encouragement necessary to achieve their educational goals.
