"Great teachers at this school. Unfortunately the kids here are very bad. There is a lot of violence and drugs at this school and I don't believe it's a very safe learning environment."

"This school is only good for its academics!! I am schocked at the profanity and drug culture this middle school has in a middle class neighborhood.!!! If your child wants to have friends he has to be a part of this party scene! I can't believe I actually sent one of my kids here in the 2008-2009 school year. He now goes to Serra Catholic along with other coto kids!!!!!"

"highly educated teachers, motivating classrooms, ZAP program (zeroes are prohibited - an after-school program where students finish their assignments not turned in so they do not get zeroes & therefore fail classes), very strict & anonymous bullying policy, fun lunch activities, excellent staff!"

"As a teacher at Newhart for five years, I can say that this school is an amazing place to teach our students. The teachers I work with are collaborative, educated, caring, and student-focused. When teachers are free to thrive in what they do (which is to teach) this helps students also to thrive academically, socially, and physically. I love Newhart!"
