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.

Transferring from out of district was like night and day. My child was not getting an adequate education, and here found their niche. Their academic program is leaps and bounds of many schools in the area. They have an amazing band program and director and amazing teachers. The kids have been nothing but welcoming and amazing. My child has really blossomed here and the move was the best thing we ever did. I can't recommend this school enough.

So glad I relocated to New Palestine to get my son into a better school district. I would highly recommend New Palestine schools. My son has been at NEI 1/2 year and now NPJH 1 1/2 years best move I could have made!

This is a wonderful school for our children. I am so glad that they get the best education that they can to prepare them for High School. I love it here.

Horrible. This school is quite possibly the worst place I've ever set foot in. Purgatory on earth. Please don't send your children here. This school doesn't care about its students' well-being. It just cares about its (impossible) four star rating.
