We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Phillips High School is full of amazing experiences and great people. It has the most caring staff and they strive to push you to do your best as a person, and a student. We have always been a poorer school. I feel people shouldn't overlook us like they tend to do, and give some recognition to our coaches, and staff like they deserve.

My experience at Phillips High School was a journey. There were both good and bad times while attending this school; however all the good memories outweigh the bad. A few things I loved about attending this school was how helpful and caring the staff was, and the way the students make you feel as though you are apart of one big family. Although, the school could become more diverse in their clubs and activities, but this just comes with time. Overall, my experience at Phillips is one I will never forget.

The teachers are very helpful. It is a small school where everyone knows each other. We have a great athletic program. We need more technology. We also need better facilities.

This school is not one that you want your kids to attend. The teachers basically do what they want and the administration do not enforce rules. They do not try to help you with anything. It is almost impossible to accomplish anything by contacting administration. Most of the time you don't even work...

It is frustrating for some parents. The teachers do have their picks and some kids are compared to the others instead of as individuals. Another issue is the way the kids are taught. For example, math teachers assign homework. The following day they ask if anyone had any problems. The teachers do no...
