The Phoenix Prog in Mobile, Alabama, closed in 2011 and last served grades 6 through 12 with fluctuating enrollment before closure, peaking at 58 students in 2010.
Graduation rates at this former Union County NJ high school ranged from 78% in 2013 to 87% in 2015, generally trailing slightly below state averages which were between 81% and 90%.
Math, reading, and science proficiency data show numerous inaccuracies (e.g., percentages above 100%), making valid comparison to Alabama state averages impossible; however, available clean data before closure indicated lower than state average performance.
Prior to closure, the school had a high percentage of students eligible for free lunch, reaching 93% in 1999 and remaining above 70% in several subsequent years, reflecting a predominantly low socioeconomic student body.
The Phoenix Prog had no recorded teachers or students after 2011, confirming its closure and absence as an active educational institution in Mobile County.
