How diverse is the student body at the Naval Academy Prep School?

Diversity is really important to me when choosing where to study. Can anyone share what the diversity looks like at the Naval Academy Prep School in terms of background, ethnicity, etc.?

The Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) is committed to diversity and creating an inclusive environment for all its individuals. As a part of the U.S. Navy, it is certainly populated by young people from a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds from across the U.S. and beyond.

Speaking specifically of ethnicity, the U.S. Naval Academy class of 2024 had about 31% minority midshipmen, and one can expect NAPS to have a similar or even greater percentage given its mission to help prepare and qualify candidates for admission to the Naval Academy. However, the precise demographic breakdown (by ethnicity, for example) for NAPS is not publicly available.

You'll also find diversity in geographical terms. NAPS draws applicants from every state in the U.S., and as it's a pathway to the Naval Academy, you will have classmates who are residents of U.S territories and international students as well.

Remember, diversity can also extend beyond racial or ethnic lines - you'll have classmates with varied life experiences, socio-economic backgrounds, talents, and perspectives which contributes hugely to the overall diversity of the school. This rich mix ensures a wide variety of viewpoints and experiences in your daily interactions and academic discourse.
