I learned a lot at Newman but it´s all about politics and who donates the most money. I would not send my child to Newman, I have learned a lot from Newman but they try to jam information down your throat and do not let you learn in your own space. Newman says it's a family but it could not be more wrong, they try but it does not work out. People here are so mean and rude and like to make fun of people for their own enjoyment. The administration tries to act as if they care but they really do not care about the students they just want them to have good grades.

Great atmosphere! The teachers care for each individual student so much! The small class sizes and student services department makes sure my kids get the one on one attention they need. I really cannot say enough great things about Newman Elementary!

I loved the small school atmosphere. As a Christian school, we prayed and discussed God freely. The academics were top notch. Sports were strong. Parent involvement was key. The music department left much to be desired, though.
