Terrible school. The students are wild, no self control. Teachers can't upload grades on time, or they will lose assignments. They will search your child without contacting you. So many issues that I have had with this school. So glad my child with be at a different school next year. If you have the choice, do not send your child to Philo Hill Magnet.
