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 that people are very close knit and aren't super friendly to new people and it's hard to make friends. The best part is that they try very hard to get you prepared for life after high school and there is many internship opportunities and college readiness. The worst part about the school is the classrooms and bathrooms, the school is very old and not clean, the classrooms are dirty and the air conditioning and heater barely works and many bathroom stalls don't have locks on them and have holes in the stall so people can see in and you cant eat in the classrooms since they have rodent issues and they're very strict on phones. the food is also very low quality.

Newton-Conover High is a very good school overall, but the only reason why I'm rating it a 4/5 is that some of the teachers there are very inept and sometimes don't have a clue about what they're doing

Newton-Conover High School is a decent school that has a wide range of CTE classes that if chosen correctly could very well benefit your future. The issues with this school is the lack of interest in student growth.

I do not care if a child's account is negative balance this school nor any school should be allowed to deny her food. That is exactly what is going on here. I'm going to find out if there is a law ag...

The next day they had a break in into the office. I will NOT be making her go back. She is going to the colleg...
