#1 Best Public High Schools in Warren County
Senior: Phillipsburg is rooted in tradition. With both strong academic and athletic programs, Phillipsburg goes unrivaled, however with the millions of dollars put into football, and profound emphasis on sports, there is no real incentive for other organizations, clubs, and academic advancement to go above and beyond. While the occasional high/honor roll mention on twitter is nice, many students fall through the academic cracks. The teachers are amazing at Phillipsburg, supportive and motivated in every sense of the words, but they can only do so much within the confines of the school. For the AP and Honors kids that put in 110%, giving themselves ulcers over the amount of work they have, is nothing compared to the football players that pass with B's in entry level courses, but plays effectively on the field. For the students I have seen that are both AP and athletes, they deserve all praise, but Phillipsburg only really cares about their Athletics department, not the struggling academic.
