we entered Nanuet School district in 1st grade, and feel as though as our daughter has been nurtured ever since . Her skills as an early reader and lover of music were immediately acknowledged and encouraged. Our daughter has excelled in academics, trumpet and kindness through her years as a Nanuet Knight. I wish that Spanish or language was offered sooner, but what she accomplished has been thrilling.

Overall I had a great time at Nanuet Senior High School. I have been in the district since I was a preschooler at Miller and I would not change anything if I could go back.

Personally, I feel Nanuet is a very well rounded environment for students. It offers many opportunities for students and there is something for anyone as far as arts and music, athletics, or academics. I know others who have had different situations, but I feel the teacher and faculties are extremely supportive in all aspects. I would like to especially mention my guidance counselor who has been so encouraging and helpful to my siblings and I the last 5 years.

I got an incredible education at Nanuet. If your child applies themselves, they will be immensely prepared for college and the workforce. If they're lazy, that's their problem. Enough complaining about cliques. Your child just refuses to join extracurricular and make friends.

The school has too many cliques. The teachers only teach the material, not the child. Bullying is prevalent. I would not recommend the Nanuet school system. Putting my child in private school was the best thing I could have done for her.

I would rate it as disappointing, lonely, and sad. I would not recommend moving to this school district if you have children in middle or high school. The students are cliquish, lack empathy, and the culture is insular.

It’s a very small school lacking any diversity in race, socioeconomic status, religion, or thought. Aside from a very exceptional teachers, the teachers are mostly average at best. Athletics focus entirely on men’s sports.
