In 2022-23, the students tested at Phoenix Alternative School scored proficient or above: under 50% in math, against 34.5% in math across Michigan. Each state writes its own test and sets its own proficiency bar, so compare these within Michigan, not across states. ED Data Express holds no district results after 2021-22, so the district column gives its 2021-22 figure.

Where a state published results by grade only, the grades tested are combined, weighted by the students tested in each.
