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.

The best part is that the school is not really strict and we have some sense of freedom. The worst part is we're only allowed 3 people into a bathroom with 5 stalls so we have to wait in line for a very long time, and the food isn't all to good, on the pizza the cheese is always coming off and sometimes doesn't taste fully cooked as well as some other foods. Some things I would like to see change is the food quality, the amount of classes that actually help us with real world stuff and just how some of the teachers act.

The best part i like about nyack high school is the opportunities they give for students to do their best. Most of my classes were challenging and made me push myself to do my best which i loved. Most teachers were very helpful. What i would love to see be changed is the school bathrooms being opened again because during lunch the bathroom has such a long line and people just standing there which shortened my lunch period. Just feel that the main bathroom was an easy in and out thing and after all the other bathrooms were closed i had to plan to leave class before lunch to go and use it. Overall though an amazing school and there are activities such as archery in p.e that most other schools don't have.

The school became was still unsanitary even after the pandemic. Some security guards are rude and don't take their jobs seriously. Most teachers are very nice and teach the subjects well.

My son graduated in 2010 and my daughter graduates this year. We have been very happy with the whole experience. They have both done super well academically and socially. It's a relatively small high school experience and everyone is together from middle school through high school. There are plenty...
