GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Newberry High School isn't a good environment for students, not only is the environment bad so is the education. Over 40% of the school has failed a class in a year. This school doesn't prepare you for college. They won't tell you what to do to prepare you for college they don't tell you what colleges want.
