Vel Phillips Memorial High School

Summary:

Vel Phillips Memorial High School is a public high school in Madison, Wisconsin, serving 2,025 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Madison Metropolitan School District, which is ranked 330 out of 428 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vel Phillips Memorial High School has shown strong academic performance, ranking 194 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's performance has fluctuated, with a high ranking of 33 out of 390 schools in the 2020-2021 school year, earning a 5-star rating. The school's graduation rates have remained strong, ranging from 86.9% to 90.7% over the past five years, generally higher than nearby schools. But Vel Phillips Memorial High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.9% in 2019-2020 to 43.4% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the nearby Middleton High (26.8%) and West High (32.1%).

While Vel Phillips Memorial High School's performance is generally stronger than other Madison Metropolitan School District high schools, it lags behind the high-performing Waunakee High and Middleton High schools. The school also faces challenges in addressing disparities among student subgroups, particularly for Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students. Addressing the root causes of the chronic absenteeism issue and targeting interventions to support all students could help Vel Phillips Memorial High School maintain and improve its academic standing.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

I received an amazing education from this school (31 on the ACT and a 4.0 at a challenging university my freshman year) . They offer an abundance of advanced placement (college credit possible pending test score) classes as well as an inspiring art program, competitive athletic programs in nearly every sport, and a ten time state winning Forensics (drama and speech) team. Go Spartans! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
