I had a good experience at Newton High School. The school was always bustling; there were tons of things to do, see, or join.
7/13/2025
The teachers and administrators of this school do not seem to care for the students and do not seem to want to see students be successful. Communication is not great and it is difficult to get support when needed. I would not recommend this school.
7/11/2025
Newton high school is a okay school it's not the greatest but also not the worst high school in Covington Georgia.The school needs to be better security there are fights at the school almost every other month.The teachers are okay,the food is okay can be better, the school needs to be cleaner the school stairs have been dirty since I was a freshman in 2022 I am now a senior and I go back to that school in August I high doubt that the stairs are going to be clean.

This school is horrible. Does not care for none of their students unless they are athletes. hints on why this school is only recognize for its sport teams. Horrible staff members that do not care about students' wellbeing or education. I would not recommend this school unless you are a d1 or d2 athl...

Excellent faculty, but students feel entitled if they have even some intelligence. Unfortunately, solving problems with violence seems the norm for most of the kids and of course, phones out to record it no matter how badly someone is being hurt!

Newton high school is very organized, and have SOME great teachers but the way they handle things with fights and bullying is not great at all. For me..I take bullying serious. I will not let someone just sit there an hit me and push me around. I will fight back, which is called defense. you can tel...

I am currently an enrolled student at Newton High School. I will be going to the Newton College and Career Acadamy for my sophomore year though. I didn't enjoy my Freshaman year at all because of the lack of support from the teachers, staff and students. Majority of the students could care less abou...
