Summary

Dr. Phillips High is a public magnet high school in Orlando, Florida, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 3,042 students. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While Dr. Phillips High has a history of mixed performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 290 and 472 over the past decade, it maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key differentiators for Dr. Phillips High is its test scores, which are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (39%), Geometry (48%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (52%) were all below the district and state averages. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88% to 97.4% over the past few years, which is comparable to the nearby schools. Additionally, Dr. Phillips High has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.9% to 52.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, while Dr. Phillips High's performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, it appears to be performing better than some of the nearby schools, such as Sunshine High School-Greater Orlando Campus, which has significantly lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking. The school's higher spending per student, ranging from $7,642 in 2020-2021 to $9,181 in 2023-2024, may indicate a focus on improving resources and support for students, though the impact on academic outcomes is not yet clear.
