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 like what my experience has been so far, especially with the CTE courses that we receive. There's been a lot of enjoyment at the school but also a lot of room for improvement which I should be seeing in the upcoming year.

Four years at Phelps has been a roller coaster. There are good days and there are bad days. Despite the bad days we have a handful of excellent staff and decent group of students.
