New Providence is an excellent school district for the most part. Almost all of the teachers know how to keep their students engaged and really help to further their learning. They are available for extra help and are always happy to give it. The extracurriculars are also great. Students interested in music and athletics are allowed to play a sport AND participate in marching band. However, guidance at the school could be improved. Students are given little direction on what classes to choose to help pave a path for college. This causes many students to choose the wrong electives. In addition, students behind in courses such as math are not given an opportunity to move ahead. Their placement is determined by a sixth grade test. Other than that, I’ve had a great experience at NPHS
New Providence has a great school system and college readiness. The academics, arts, and new STEM wing add to the overall excellence of the school!
My experience in New Providence School District has been a mostly great, but occasionally frustrating experience. The teachers are fantastic at this school and obviously care about their students. The administration, on the other hand, is oftentimes quite controlling of everything such as prison-like security, hall monitors, and restriction on students rights. The guidance department is winning or lose depending on who you get. The music department is amazing at this school despite the School board's attempt at shrinking its budget. Overall great people in the school just the people running the school are a bit too controlling.
