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.

I've had an ok experience so far as this is my 4th year here. I have had a hard time, and the guidance for me was very kind and the school was very understanding. But for others there have been other things said. The variety in what i'm personally interested in for classes, is quite large. But others may think otherwise.

Pretty good school. Lots of opportunities for students, however, you have to know the right people in order to get them. Student life is really good. Spirit weeks, pep rallies, and dances are really fun.

New Milford is a very nice school, the staff and teachers are kind and caring. The students are super social and i think the school should practice more socialization and do more activities so the students aren't as stuck up. The cafeteria and food options is immaculate compared to other schools, lots of options for the students.
