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.

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.

NPA has great college prep; the teachers are dedicated and the students are mostly motivated. Overall, the academics are very good.

I have enjoyed the time I've had here and have grown immensely from when I first arrived. The sports I have played have been pretty nice and so have the arts. One major fault is the lack of diversity.

My best parts at this school would be my most recent years. I think they were much better in high school compared to middle school. I felt more comfortable, safe, and overall respected by my teacher and peers. Of course I don't get along with everyone but I like my school for its class sizes. This makes it better to get to know you classmates and teacher for a better environment. I didn't like the changes in the courses that were available. When I was choosing my classes for this year (my senior year) many of my options were taken away throughout the choosing process. Overall I think it was a good environment to learn in and do sports in. The only fault I would come up with for the community is that there is not much diversity. This was through race, culture, and even religion at some times.

We love NPA! My daughter's first year at NPA was her 'best school year ever!" She's made great friends, gotten straight A's, and more importantly she has become a happy, self-motivated, organized learner.

I am a student at NPA, and I think this was the best school year I ever had! I may of just been a 6th grader, but I learned so many new things! I can't wait for next year!

good prep school- great academics- listed on the top 0 schools in the US by US News. good clas size- lots of personal attention by caring teachers. almost everyone goes on to college from here and gets in to good schools, especially Ivy League universities. 100 % of students who enroll graduate.
