Very nice, people are nice and friendly with some exceptions and the staff is great overall. I've lived in Newburgh nearly all my life and the community around the school contrary to popular belief is actually really nice. I've made lots of friends I will never forget at these schools and will continue to make more friends outside of the district. Overall I would give the schools a 8.5/10

Newburgh Free Academy is very diverse but the school is so big that no one knows each other and a lot of people keep to themselves. As someone that has been going to this school for almost four years, I see new people in the hallways everyday.

I really enjoy being at NFA because it's a school that has great inclusivity among the students and teachers but it has a bad rep because of it's surroundings and placement in Newburgh.

Bad place to send your children too much gang related situations kids get jump all the time they pick on and fight you for no reason the security system sucks dangerous environment to be in

It’s a graduation fulfillment center. The superintendent has been juicing the graduation rates since he arrives. Every policy he has introduced has lowered expectations for students, and it’s really begun to show in terms of student readiness for life after high school. Some students do transcend th...
