Congratulations NPHS!
Congratulations! New Providence High School was ranked #48 in New Jersey in the newly released U.S. News & World Report 2026–2027 Best High Schools rankings.
This represents a 12-position improvement in New Jersey, moving from #60 last year to #48 this year.
Nationally, NPHS rose to #808 out of nearly 18,000 ranked public high schools, which represents an impressive 468-position increase in their national ranking.
The continued strong performance and significant upward movement of New Providence High School reflects the collective work of our students, faculty, staff, administrators, and families.
While rankings are only one measure of school success, this recognition is something our school community can be proud of and reinforces our continued commitment to academic excellence and preparing all students for success beyond high school.
The rankings are based on 2023–2024 school year data and consider multiple measures of school performance.
Factors include state assessment performance and proficiency, college readiness, AP/IB participation and performance, curriculum breadth, graduation rates, and outcomes for historically underserved students.
