I had a good experience when I attended 2021-2022, however since that time I have only heard negative things about the school. Even when I was there it was far from perfect however it is the main reason I got into college so I have a slightly more biased and positive view of the school.

Our son boarded and attended Phelps for all four years of high school. Because of Phelps' small and nurturing environment our son has grown into a confident learner and self advocate. We can't say enough great things about the teachers and community at Phelps.

This is a very nice school for me as an international student. I got friends from all over the world and it was an amazing experience for me. The teachers are friendly and warm. The school feels like a huge family altogether.

Phelps makes a concerted effort to know students as individuals and seek to cultivate in them the needed skills to both be a successful student here and as they pursue higher education.
