Phelps High School has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 198 out of 290 Kentucky high schools, a position that has remained relatively consistent over the past few years.

However, in other areas, such as 11th grade ACT Math, only 15% of Phelps High School students are proficient or better, compared to 26% in Pike County and 30% statewide.

One significant challenge facing Phelps High School is the high poverty rate among its student population, with 93.48% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles. Despite the small school size and low student-teacher ratio, the school has not been able to translate these resources into stronger academic performance for its students.
