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.

It has been challenging trying to accomodate their standards and be the best I can be. However, this school does offer many things including AP, but there are some AP classes I wish they had.

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.
