There are lots of opportunities at Newton South, wether that be class choice, class level, sports, arts, or music. Newton North does have a better facility, but the quality of student life seems to be the same. I enjoyed my experience, as did my siblings and friends.

Great school with excellent teachers and goal oriented students! Students from NSHS statistically accepted to the best Universities of US and Canada.

Actually disgraceful. Some teachers are good, and they care. But there seems to be no rules for how many days teac...

One of the best school in mass. Highly diverse and many opportunities for students. Hands down one of the best school in the country.
