History
In September 2012 the school opened with 80 students in the 6th grade. A new grade will be added each year until the school becomes a grade 6-12 school. The school anticipated having about 500 students total once the grade levels are maxed out. The first principal was Vaughn Thompson, who had previously worked at the Young Scholars Academy of Bronx and had resigned from there.

In 2012 the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey stated that if boys have a single gender school, girls should have the same opportunity. NPS later opened Girls' Academy of Newark as the all-girl counterpart.
