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.

Academics of the school are great with every single teacher designating time to help you better understand the content and just the general way the content of the lesson is taught to the children. However sports facilities and the sports team in general need a turnaround because in recent years the football team can't hold a copahc for longer than two years and the number of kids who show out for tryouts is decreasing, at least from my perspective.

Despite New Hope's size, it has a grand community that is intertwined and shows unwavering spirit. The education one receives is one of the finest that rewards the merits of those who try. The teachers provide excellent education and opportunities for growth. The clubs and sports are strong and they thrive with many students.

The teachers are for the most part nice and here to help. Coursework is always a good push on my mental ability no matter my strengths in the subject. Amazing range of AP / elective courses.

Everything. Some students started a Nazi group even though there are Jewish people. A Jewish teacher saw a certain symbol on the bathroom stalls, books and paper written with spray paint or sharpie. There excuse for these actions are "BOYS WILL BE BOYS". This is absolutely unacceptable for our kids....

Excellent, as a substitute teacher, the students were respectful and understood the culture of classroom expectation, self-respect and respect for others.
