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.

The previous two postings are both untrue and inaccurate. Mr.Berg is an award winning educator who has just been promoted to a more senior position within BPS..This is an isolated incident which was handled very poorly by the parents involved...(Her other son is still a student at the Philbrick).

We love the Philbrick! This is the second year our son is attending the school and we will definitely be there for the forseeable future. This is a very small and very diverse school. It has a wonderful playground and indoor community space (stage, gym, cafeteria area). A team of parents and teacher...
