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.

The academics are very strong and it has been a lot of fun at NPHS. However, some teachers do not treat Hih School students like they are High School students (they treat them like elementary students), which makes the classroom enviroment very frustrating.

The best parts of my experience is the support that all the teachers give you through the entirety of the school year. They are always open to helping. The coaches for the sports are so dedicated to making their athletes better

I transferred to New Palestine High school during my sophomore year of high school and I had a hard time adjusting to a new school especially in the middle of a school year. I was very depressed and struggling with family issues. It was my worst year of school ever. However, I met my now long time best friend and I was able to turn my life around. I overcame my struggles and even challenged myself to graduate a whole year early. I now attended Indiana University in Bloomington and I have never been happier. Winning this survey would mean the world to me and help me with my college needs. Thank you for you time !

We had two children recently graduate from NPHS and were overall very satisfied with some aspects of it, while highly disappointed with others. The band program is top notch and is probably what saved our youngest from transferring out. My children took honors and AP classes and were surprised to se...
