Phillipsburg High has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 33rd out of 326 Kansas high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 263rd out of 324 in 2021-2022. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 108th out of 332 Kansas high schools with a 3-star rating, which is generally higher than Logan High (94th district rank, 3-star rating) but lower than Thunder Ridge High School (136th district rank, 2-star rating).
