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.

Not so long ago this was the top rated elementary school in Catawba County. Say what you like about the wonderful teachers, leadership programs etc… the test scores and improvement numbers don’t lie. Typical public school nowadays.

South Newton is an amazing school that embraces the students, and creates a leader out of each and every student who walks through the doors. The staff is also wonderful. Teachers are helpful and prepare the students for the EOG's. This school is truly the best school ever!

Since this school became a Leader in Me school, students are taking ownership over their learning and actions. This school is like a family. The school has strong leadership, and they are using their new school space constructively to provide opportunities for all students.

Students are encouraged to develop good leadership skills as they work to reach their fullest potential. I would definitely put my children at South Newto...
