CENTRAL FRESHMAN ACADEMY

Central Freshman Academy is a Title I public secondary school that is part of the Phenix City school district, located in Phenix City, AL with about 440 students. 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 27 teachers, Central Freshman Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

Central Freshman Academy (CFA), located in Phenix City, Alabama, serves as a specialized transitional campus dedicated exclusively to ninth-grade students within the Phenix City School District. By focusing solely on the freshman experience, the academy aims to bridge the gap between middle school and the more rigorous academic environment of the high school level. This concentrated approach allows the faculty to emphasize foundational academic skills, student engagement, and the development of essential study habits during a critical year of a student's educational journey.

Beyond academics, the academy prioritizes social-emotional growth and the cultivation of a supportive school culture. By housing all freshmen in one facility, CFA provides an environment where students can build peer relationships and receive targeted guidance as they acclimate to the expectations of secondary education. The school's mission is to prepare these students for a successful transition to Central High School, ensuring they have the academic preparedness and personal maturity necessary to excel throughout their remaining years of high school.
