I'm a senior and it's been generally pretty good I love my teachers, they're all very helpful and supportive. Administration is okay, and the facilities are new.

New Paltz is definitely a small-town public high school, but there are some absolutely amazing teachers and a good amount of resources. I genuinely enjoyed my experience there.

Definitely some amazing teachers and opportunity's at the new paltz high school. The administration sucks and doesn't respect or care enough about their teachers or students to make the school reach its potential. The students are a mix of cool artistic people and then there's some ratchet people who will try to fight you. But overall everyone is fake and you can't trust anyone. New paltz high school brings out the worst in you.

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...
