Summary:
The Phillipsburg School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Phillipsburg High School.

Phillipsburg High School has a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and has ranked between 218 and 253 out of 426 high schools in New Jersey. The school's 16.6% chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Additionally, 32% of Phillipsburg High School students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Phillipsburg High School has maintained a 91.1% four-year graduation rate, which is slightly above the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1 is also slightly lower than the state average. While the data suggests areas for improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and raising proficiency rates in core academic subjects, the school's stable graduation and dropout rates are positive indicators for the district.
