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.

Nutley High School is an exceptional high school. It helps me achieve my goals in order to pursue my career in Business Management. With having IEP to help with my studies and having MS was a difficult challenge, but Nutley High School help me over come my fears and instilled in me the confidence I never had before. Making friends was a little difficult because I am extremely quiet. I also in time learned to overcome that too with the help of the Guidance Counselor. The only thing I can say is the school lunches could be better.

Administration could be stricter, overall academics aren't great unless you are an ambitious student who pushes themselves for more. Diversity isn't bad, but the town does not have a great history of dealing with racism related issues.

This is no longer the wonderful Nutley school system we enjoyed for so long. If my two youngest were not almost done, I would pull them out t...

Some teachers are great. English/Science depts have been a positive experience. Some math teachers are ok but when Advanced Math is taught by inexperience teachers, they can not communicate the class work and therefore students who had excellent math track records are turned off to the subject.
