"This is an amazing school with great teachers and students! The drug and violence issues the previous parents spoke about are minimal and honestly, those types of issues usually start at home. Newhart provides an outstanding education for my kids - as the test scores prove! My kids have found great friends and lots of opportunities to be involved in school in positive ways! You can tell the teachers genuinely care about their students."

"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!"
