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.

Nyack Highschool is a great place for me and anyone especially interested in specific things especially science and art related. They have great specific classes and courses you can take and great facilities for anyone from sports to science to art.

Nyack High School does a great job of making everyone feel included, has many clubs and sports included swimming, track and field, tennis etc. Sometimes the food isn't all too good but sometimes it is. It also sometimes lacks fun but the improvement of some school events could help with that. I'd recommend this school to any parent who'd want a school that's calm, inclusive and doesn't have bad things being said about them.

One thing I like about Nyack High School is that the administrators are always there for you. If you ever need anything you can go to anyone working in the building and they are always willing to help you. I love our principle and how she always checks up on all the students.
