Summary:

Phelps, Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Phelps High, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite its small size of just 25 students, Phelps High has demonstrated strong academic performance, with a 91.0% four-year graduation rate that significantly exceeds the state average. The school also boasts a 10th grade proficiency rate in Social Studies of 71.43%, well above the state average of 45.08%.

Phelps High's academic success is particularly noteworthy given that 48% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's low 1.3% dropout rate further suggests that it is effectively supporting its students and helping them complete their high school education. Additionally, Phelps High's small student-teacher ratio of 5.9 to 1 may contribute to its ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students.

While Phelps High's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 378th out of 410 high schools in 2017-2018 to 285th out of 408 in 2015-2016, its consistently strong performance in key areas like graduation rates and test scores indicates that it is a high-quality institution that is serving its students well. The Phelps School District should be commended for its efforts in supporting this small but impactful high school.
