Phillipsburg High School (New Jersey)
Phillipsburg High School, also known locally as P'Burg High School, is a comprehensive, four-year public high school located in Phillipsburg, in Warren County, New Jersey, United States. The school was first established in 1871 and is located in the eastern part of the Lehigh Valley, at the Pennsylvania border. For this reason, the school's nickname is the "Stateliners." The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 2000.
The school is part of the Phillipsburg School District, one of 31 Abbott Districts in the state, that serves students from the town of Phillipsburg and from five area communities: Alpha, Bloomsbury (in Hunterdon County), Greenwich Township, Lopatcong Township and Pohatcong Township, who attend as part of sending/receiving relationships.
As of the 2010-11 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,638 students and 100.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 16.38:1. There were 292 students (17.8% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 63 (3.8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. Phillipsburg High School's enrollment is in excess of the school's capacity. To compensate for this, the Phillipsburg School District either owns or leases 31 trailers.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“As I walked on the glacis I heard the sound of a bagpipe from the soldiers’ dwellings in the rock, and was further soothed and affected by the sight of a soldier’s cat walking up a cleated plank in a high loophole designed for mus-catry, as serene as Wisdom herself, and with a gracefully waving motion of her tail, as if her ways were ways of pleasantness and all her paths were peace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“...I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
