Summary:
The city of Phillips, Wisconsin, is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Phillips Elementary, Phillips High, and Phillips Middle. These schools are part of the Phillips School District, which has shown a consistent level of performance across the district.
Among the standout schools in the district, Phillips High stands out, ranking 112 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.0% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%, while also outperforming the state average on several key test scores, including 59.52% proficiency in ACT English Language Arts and 57.14% in ACT Mathematics for 10th graders. Phillips Elementary has also shown improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating over the past three school years and performing well on 4th-grade social studies tests, with 64.1% proficiency in 2024-2025, exceeding the state average.
However, the district faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, the schools generally underperform the state average in English Language Arts test scores, particularly in the upper grades, which could be an area of focus for improvement. Despite these challenges, the district's schools maintain relatively low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 1.88% at Phillips Middle to 3.62% at Phillips Elementary, and have low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10.7 at Phillips High to 12.5 at Phillips Middle.
