GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, Philo High-School is a nice school in a calm area- Almost all of the teachers are amazing and willing to help you with anything you need help with. Sometimes the food isn't the best, but you could always bring your own/get a side item. They have a wide variety of classes, so you can almost always find something that falls into the category of what you're interested in/looking for.

Overall staff and extracurricular activities are great. The choir and art class are taught by excellent teachers that just want the best for every student they come across. The school spirit is great.

This was my home school I traveled to the trade school but the time I spent at Philo was good. I continued my sport of soccer, track, and cheerleading here.
