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.

My experience in Newton high school was very average. Being involved in the extracurricular is an important part of the experience here.

When I moved to Newton highschool my sophomore year because my parents got divorced I for sure wanted to hate this school, but as I got to know what Newton had to offer and the people and teachers there I realized that for my next two years of highschool this is where I belonged. The teachers and students make you feel welcomed and accepted not only that but there are so many clubs and sports that you could participate in. Newton is a beautiful highschool full of opportunity for new and old students I am so glad I was able to be apart of this amazing district.

My children have been thriving at Newton High School. The teachers truly care about their progress and go above and beyond for them. The music and theater departments, as well as the robotics and AG programs, are excellent, along with the core programs.

Newton High School while alright at best, there has been many micro-aggressions, slurs, and things that I would not like to share. Overall the experience at this school was accommodating to me having a IEP, there was never a moment I felt safe to change in the bathrooms other than the nurse's. There...

Newton high school is by far one of the best in Sussex county. The young adults graduating from there are more than prepared for college and the real world. Newton had gotten a bad rep because of its location. People fail to realize it is a regional school with many different students attending, fro...
