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 is a very small school. The staff tend to ignore big problems such as bullying but focus on the small ones, things like phone usage. The overall environment is very unstable fights happen at least 2-3 times a month. The academics are okay, engagement and work quality could be better. As a senior who has gone here all of my high school education I feel that things need to change.

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.
