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.

I have moved many times and of all the schools I have been to this school stands out for its care for their students and education. Most schools do not care about their students but New Paltz does.

The teachers at my school are absolutely amazing. They care so much and they always do more than I would ever expect of them. They go out of their way to help the students and are wonderful role models.

The teachers are, for the most part, amazing. They are always willing to go out of their way to help a student. I recommend NPHS a lot. One of my teachers even offered to pay for an AP exam if that was difference between taking it or not. Never, EVER, try to drop an AP class at NPHS as the principal...
