GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

I've graduated Dr Phillips highschool 4 years ago. My best experience was joining their golf team during my sophomore year. My worst experience was the expensive requirements in the music department.

Overall, the past 4 years at Dr. Phillips High School have been eventful to say the least. The parts of the experience that diminished it has nothing to do with the school however, I wish the college readiness was better for future underclassmen. The amount of financial opportunities I've missed because I wasn't informed isn't anything I'd wish on underclassmen.

Dr. Phillips offers a lot of different opportunities, but it is what you make of it. If you don't make the effort or take advantage of the things that are being offered, you won't be able to excel as far as you ideally would want to.

Kids have had several geometry teachers in 1 yr, no teacher yet for Spanish or French. The new principal has a lot of work ahead of he...

These reviews seems skewed as most of them are old, written by students, or written by someone who had a bad experience. My child goes to DPHS, and I can't speak for the normal class experience as my child is in the Autism Exceptional Student Education program. So far we've had nothing but positive...
