PHELPS HIGH SCHOOL

Phelps High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Phelps School District school district, located in Phelps, WI with about 55 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, Phelps High has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Phelps School, located in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, serves as a PK-12 educational institution committed to providing a personalized learning environment for its students. Because of its small size, the school emphasizes strong community connections and individualized attention, allowing teachers to work closely with students to meet their specific academic and social-emotional needs. The school prides itself on fostering a supportive atmosphere where students are encouraged to pursue both academic excellence and extracurricular engagement within a close-knit, rural setting.

The school’s curriculum is designed to prepare students for post-secondary success while maintaining a deep appreciation for the local community. Beyond traditional classroom instruction, Phelps School integrates technology and hands-on learning opportunities to remain competitive. By bridging the gap between small-town values and modern educational standards, the school aims to cultivate well-rounded, responsible citizens who are ready to contribute meaningfully to the world after graduation.
