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.

Overall, Philo High-School is a nice school in a calm area- Almost all of the teachers are amazing and willing to help you with anything you need help with. Sometimes the food isn't the best, but you could always bring your own/get a side item. They have a wide variety of classes, so you can almost always find something that falls into the category of what you're interested in/looking for.

The school has many resources available to them, but rarely uses them to better the students in meaningful ways. Sports seem to dominate here like many other schools, and more academic clubs and programs should be fostered.

I went to Philo High School for all four years of my high school career and just graduated this May. I moved here as an incoming freshman. I was welcomed with open arms in to the band program and we took our band to State competition all 4 years. In our last year, we receive the highest rating you can at state judging.

I feel your freshman year either makes or breaks you, and those Freshman teachers go above and beyond to help those kids transition to high school. Kudo...
