PHOENIX HIGH SCHOOL

Phoenix High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Kennewick School District school district, located in Kennewick, WA with about 62 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 3 teachers, Phoenix High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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 Southridge Boulevard in Kennewick, Washington, serves as the district’s primary alternative learning environment. Designed to support students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school setting, the school focuses on providing a more flexible, personalized approach to education. Its mission is centered on re-engaging students, helping them overcome academic or personal barriers, and ensuring they remain on a clear path toward high school graduation and post-secondary success.

The school is known for its smaller class sizes and a supportive atmosphere that fosters closer relationships between students and faculty. By utilizing credit-retrieval programs and specialized instructional techniques, Phoenix High empowers students to work at their own pace to meet state requirements. Beyond academics, the school emphasizes character development and resilience, aiming to provide a stable, inclusive community where students feel encouraged to take ownership of their future and achieve their individual educational goals.
