GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Awesome school with caring and helpful teachers, a wonderful Principal, a supportive Assistant Principal, and friendly office staff. NKP is second home to all students and all the volunteering parents. A pioneering and progressive public school that kids love going to every day!
