With only one school listed, there are no local top and bottom performers to compare; Philip Junior High - 03 is the sole option in this set, not evidence of how it compares with other nearby schools. Its grade results show an exception to the overall math shortfall: eighth-grade math was about 1 point above the state (43.5% versus 43.0%), while the school was below the state in sixth- and seventh-grade math and in ELA at every grade. Eighth-grade science was also below the state, at 35% versus 41%. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 3% at the school, compared with 5% in the district and 20% statewide.
Results changed substantially from 2024–2025: math fell from 62% to 41%, while ELA declined from 52% to 44%, shifting from slightly above to 5 points below the state.
