The past 4 years I have gone to this school, I have seen many changes. My senior year this school was the best. Even though our sports teams were not the best, The energy was amazing

I am a Senior at Newton High School. This school is fairly large with a lot of students. It is easy to meet people and find friend groups with people who have common interests. Teachers are very helpful in one on one attention if you ask for it. The food and lunch program has room for improvement and there are parts of the building that either need a remodel or rebuild since the building itself is old. Expanding the food program would be a positive change and the parking lot and drop off pick up process is a bottleneck.
12/30/2021
The school feels like they are doing a good job accommodating to the students, but they really are not. There are only about 1,000 students and everything feels to be falling apart. The lack of funding and care for anything but sports or the administration's well-beings is so evident, though the school tries to mask it. The only thing keeping the school from getting a 1 star are the helpful teachers. The administrations needs some help.

Newton School District has been a great experience for our family. Our oldest graduated with honors, and our younger children, who have IEPs, continue to receive amazing support. Every teacher we’ve worked with truly puts students first. Newton offers more clubs and activities than any other school...

Newton Unified School District has been an overall positive experience for our family. With my husband and I graduating from much smaller high schools, we were concerned that Newton would be "too big". However, Newton is unique in that it provides a small town community feel but with so many amazing...

Moving to Newton and getting away from the huge Maize school district was the best thing we could've done! We moved here to find a better since of community and got that, and NHS has been wonderful. We have a senior there and she's been well prepared for her next step in life. Are there some staff w...

Most of the staff is very interested in the children's future, and are not prone to coddling, which I personally am all for. Especially at High School age teachers should not have to hold a student's hand through every assignment.
