Excellent School. Great programs for preparing students for college and teaching leaderships skills. Deserves more attention than it gets. Good faculty.

This school can't even keep track of student's attendance. Teachers don't use their common sense when it comes to a regular student being absent for two weeks in a row and they didn't bother questioning WHY??? Till this day, I don't get a phone call if my child is out of school.

My student has been attending New Leadership for 4 years now. This school has developer my sons character in ways I would have never imagined. The teachers are also very personal and develop relationships with the students, and myself being a parent. My children are now very ambitious about going to college and has set goals to achieve his goals. This is an excellent school for a future leader.

The grade 10 MCAS is a high school graduation requirement. The MCAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Massachusetts.
