Phoenix High School Receives Recognition and Award from Ga. School Supt. Cox

Phoenix High School was recognized on September 29, 2009 by state superintendent Kathy Cox for raising test scores during the previous school year.

Cox announced the winners of the second annual Superintendent's Distinguished Acheivement awards. The awards honor the top ten highest achieving schools and the top ten schools making the greatest improvements on state curriculum tests.

Phoenix High School received two awards for improving on the percentage of students passing portions of the Georgia High School Graduation Test for the first time. In Science, Phoenix students increased from 55 percent passing in 2007-2008 school year to 75% percent passing in the 2008-2009 school year, the fifth highest improvement in the state. Social Studies passing percentages rose from 50% to 72.2, second highest in the state.

Phoenix students also received recognition for improvement on the Georgia High School Writing Test, increasing from 73.3 percent meeting or exceeding standards to 95.2 percent, the fourth highest in Georgia.

Phoenix students, teachers, administrators, and community have a lot to be proud of. Keep up the hard work.
