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.

Parent of two students in NP HS, fortunate to have a great principal and staff, during the years they attended MS and HS. Very informative on all issues relating to the student, programs and events around school and town. Made changes in the last year to better improve traffic flow, which greatly helps out!! Food can be improved, but teens are finicky eaters. Thanks for listening!!

New providence High school is super tiny. but its a safe environment to be in, the teachers care about all of their students, their stem program is fantastic. The food sucks, and so does the sports but thats probably more of a student issue more than faculty.

My son was a student here when Zirpoli was in "power." The woman did NOT have the experience that was necessary to run a high school, in fact, she was hired at NPHS with only 1 year of HS principal experience, and NOT in the suburbs. She got her job one of two "old fashioned ways," which are one, sl...

This school is great if you are white and Christian. Character education is viewed as a joke to most students and inclusion is not embraced. Health wise, this school has a rodent problem. The cafeteria is dirty, the floors are sticky and mice are seen daily. The mice also run in and out of classroom...
