Philip Junior High School Information

Philip Junior High is School Wide Title 1 school.

A school wide program is a comprehensive reform strategy designed to upgrade the entire educational program in a Title I school; its primary goal is to ensure that all students, particularly those who are low-achieving, demonstrate proficient and advanced levels of achievement on state academic achievement standards. This school wide reform strategy requires that a school do the following:

  • Create a planning committee;

  • Conduct a comprehensive needs assessment;

  • Identify and commit to specific goals and strategies that address those needs;

  • Create a comprehensive plan; and


Adopting this strategy results in an ongoing, comprehensive plan for school improvement that is owned by the entire school community and tailored to its unique needs.
