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.

It's a clean school focused on learning and athletes definitely a small town vibe. I like it a lot. Not a whole lot of activity's but the ones that are there are pretty great

Good selection of college credit classes, some very caring teachers. Too much emphasis on sports--not enough on the arts or high interest electives.

To me, the best thing about Newell-Fonda is the culture that surrounds our school. Since everyone is in the same building, there are a plethora of chances to talk to everyone. It's one of the only schools I know where a 1st grader can have the confidence to come up and talk to a senior about what they're going to do this weekend. They have lots of technological advances, and there are all types of students. The only thing I would change would be making a culture where all the teachers want you to succeed instead of just a select few.
