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.

During my time at Phillipsburg High School, I was able to meet and make friends with all different types of people from all different types of backgrounds. It could have been through the sports that I played or just in a class that I was taking. It was a fun experience that I would not take back for the world.

I do not have a lot to say as my freshman year of high school was during Covid. I did not get to experience "high school" as others may have. But with the time that I did spend in the building, it was fun. Especially the beginning of the year when there were football game and a lot of school spirit. I also enjoyed the Christmas time since everyone was in their Christmas spirit. I absolutely love the tradition of Easton vs Pburg during thanksgiving.
