My experience with New Town High School has been ups and downs. I've been involved in sports , clubs, friendships, etc. That all taught me to be who I am today. Even when I had sad times I had people/ staff in school to help me overcome it. I've had some mistakes with grades and some great accomplishments with my grades. Overall I appreciate my whole 4 years and the staff who helped me. I hope this experience in this school gets me far in life.

The best experience I've had at New Town High School was winning soccer games with my team. We made it to the play-offs during my junior year and won. The worst experience I've had at New Town High School was my losing soccer season during my senior year. Me and my team didn't win any games that season due to poor coaching. I would like to see the culture change in my school because it's not positive or welcoming.

My personal experience has been pretty good, Like almost all schools honestly there are some things that not everybody would like. Such as the security there but the community, food, and academics make up for it. They also just got IB Certification so they make sure to have students stay academically successful and ready

This school is straight up garbage, wouldn’t recommend it to anybody. First of all the teachers don’t care or listen to the students whatsoever, this is one of the reasons why the students don’t respect the teachers. There are a lot of fights and you got people who wanna act tough and stuff, but in...
