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 enjoyed my time at Newport harbor. I have learned a lot and have enjoyed what I have experienced. Some parts may not be the best since it's a public high school but in general it has been a good and fun experience.

Newport Harbor High School is best described as "you get what you put in". With a number of clubs in the triple digits, more AP and IB classes than one could ever take, and a wide variety of sports and electives, NHHS will provide those with ambition with the tools they need to accomplish their goal.
