I have been in the newton isd for my entire school life and it hasn't been completely terrible but definitely isn't the best school to prepare you for college or for the future unless you are good at sports or welding.

Newton High School overall was a great experience for me. I made many great friends and family along the way. Something I would like to see changed is the school food. Although is it filling sometimes is just isn't edible.

At least, almost everyone cares, REALLY cares and there is a lot of pride in the school, esp. considering the poverty level in Newton County. I personally think it deserves a higher rating.
