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 transferred into NHS my junior year and my only wish is that I had done it sooner. It's been the best experience and grateful for such a supportive and welcoming community of students and staff.

I've had really great experiences over the course of the last 4 years almost every teacher I have had I would want to be my teacher again and the academics are right in that range to where it's not to hard and it's not to easy its that perfect challenge.

We just moved to Newburyport and the transition into the high school here went very smoothly. My daughter is into all of her classes and speaks highly of her teachers.
