The school has consistently ranked in the middle of New Jersey high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Phillipsburg High School's academic performance is uneven, with stronger performance in Algebra II but weaker performance in other subject areas, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school's four-year graduation rate is 91.3%, slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 14.9%, higher than the state average. The school serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with 33.63% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.
While Phillipsburg High School is performing at an average level, there is room for improvement, particularly in areas such as academic achievement, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Identifying and addressing the root causes of these issues could help the school improve its overall performance and provide better educational opportunities for its students.
