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.

I liked how the teachers made sure to make students feel welcome, especially one of the teachers in middle school, she tries to help any student that may need extra help at school or at home. The teachers usually always try to make the students feel welcome and never out in a group because of their home life. I think that our school can work on the teachers not being in the drama with the high schoolers, usually, there aren't any who are involved in the drama but there is always a couple.

What I like about Newell High School is the people and the teachers. I like how the teachers work with everyone very well and that they are strict with rules. This helps us prepare for college. I would not change anything about our school!
