The best parts of my experience are that the teachers are all resourceful and knowledgeable in their areas of expertise that they also provide me with the skill and knowledge to succeed. The worst parts of my experience are that the food can be burned or parched sometimes. I would like to see more resources related to art become avaliable.

Newcomers high school is a school for immigrants. This school helps students to learn English as their second language. The main thing i like about this school is that everyone is so friendly and welcoming. There is no discrimination . Many students don't know English but newcomers school , teachers and students are helpful for them. I would like to see some changes like better technology and more advanced.

I was a newcomers high school student from 2009 to 2013. I would not give it a five star since its academy is not that exceptional.
