Senior: This school has been the best opportunity anyone could imagine. All the teachers, the whole roughly nine of them, have a genuine care for their students. They are always there and helpful no matter what the time, or reason. Many stay after school to help their students and a good number of students just stay behind to talk to them. I looked forward to every high school class I had because I knew the teachers so well. They all challenge you and make you do your work, but they find a way to make it fun and engaging. The two years of free college was the reason I went, but I would do it all over again without it. I actually helped start a music club at the school.... Read 37 reviews

Parent: We are so happy at NPS! The community is so kind and welcoming, and the academic experience outstanding. The school’s core values (love, respect, honesty, safety, and responsibility) really are at the center of the experience there. Our children thrive with multiple recess breaks and physical education to keep them moving across the school day, and they so enjoy the art, music, Spanish, and other specials. We’ve been so impressed with the resources available for individual learning needs and the customized approach to helping each child with academic or counseling needs. Especially during Covid, we felt like the school put out a safety net and caught our children. Our son is in his fifth year there, daughter in her third, and they simply love going to school....

Senior: As an upcoming senior, I can say that throughout COVID, my school did an excellent job of maintaining positivity and reaching out to students. COVID is and was something that took a major toll on many students mental health. During COVID, I found that I lost all motivation to do my school work and developed a fear of online learning. I missed my friends, teammates, and most importantly, I missed being in the classroom. My teachers did an excellent job encouraging me and making sure I knew that I was not alone. I am Student Body Historian and one thing that I would like to see change is the school spirit. Freshman year (before covid hit), everybody went to sporting events and participated in spirit weeks, but this past year it seems as though that spirit we once acquired has been lost. I would like to see students looking forward to come to school and enjoying every second of their high school years. High school is the best times of our lives and we should not take it for granted.... Read 115 reviews

The system was very biast and pushed certain students above those who historically had not attended college.... Read 12 reviews

Parent: Both of our kids started at The New School in ninth grade, after eight years of public school. It was one of the best parenting decisions we've ever made. Everything about this school is terrific. The teachers are passionate, inspired, and inspiring. Small, topics-driven, seminar-style classes foster creativity and independent thinking, while the welcoming atmosphere makes everyone feel at home. Our two kids turned out to be very different kinds of learners, but both thrived at The New School. Our youngest graduates next year, and we'll be sad to think of not having that day-to-day connection. Can't say enough about this wonderful school!... Read 26 reviews
