I love how diverse Neuqua is, but there is a lot of internalized racism within many students, so POC like myself face discrimination from other POC. Staff are largely unaware, but crack down hard when they have evidence. Staff often play favorites among students, and some teachers can even come across as creepy or weird because of their relationships with students. If a teacher doesn't like you, then despite your abilities, you will not succeed in their class.

Neuqua is the best school I have seen and attended in my whole life. This school isn't perfect by all means but they offer us students so many different opportunities' through classes , sports, events, and college advice, pair this with the safety and the solid teachers, it becomes a very well rounded school. Along with this the school is very clean and well kept, the staff are helpful, and the administration is always trying to aid the students and fix any problems that arise.

Sure, Neuqua can showcase high standardized testing scores, but developing well rounded students and really wrapping around students is a large weakness.

I went to Neuqua and graduated back in 2011. I can confidently say that attending this high school set a great foundation for who I am today. I was average (at best) academically and finished right in the middle of my class…but when I went to college? I thrived. College felt easy. I went to an out-o...

School markets itself as an elite academic high school but several teachers have not been helpful when my son asked for assistance. They are willing to help if you pay them their tutor fee of $100 per hour.
