While I attended Phillips technology was available, but it was not the best, as many computers in the lab did not work. Aside from this my experience at Phillips was enjoyable. All classes (6th-8th gr) were considered Pre-AP and did prepare me for AP classes. Most teachers did not mind tutoring on certain days after school and parent involvement was important and prevalent especially with the PTA.

COvID-19 has really been hard. The teachers try but the inequalities are very clear.

First class! The Assistant Principal and office staff are very helpful. This manner trickles down to the teachers that currently teach my child in the 2nd grade! World Class at its finest!
