"Im a sophmore at Newtown and it happens to be a pretty decent school despite what others have to say about it . There is almost no violence at this school and it is a pretty safe learning enviornment . There is probably some gang affiliation but i have yet to see this . This is new york city in almost every high school there are gang affiliated students."

"This school is horrible.. i came from florida to think i was going to attend a decent public school, but boy was i wrong.. the teachers have no discipline, a lot of gangs,no safety, student skip anytime, and the teaching is horrible, i will never reccomend this school to anyone, move your kids to florida and they will actually learn something!"

"This school has different ethnic groups its is easy for anyone to fit in. At this school it is all up to the student, if the student wants to acieve goals and works hard for them, the student definitely can suceed. You cant blame the school or the teachers, you can only blame the wrong students. There are many students in this school that work hard everyday and try more than their best. The point is its all up to how the child/student is willing to work at school you cant blame the school of the staff for anything. The school tries its best and so does the staff... the school want the students to suceed."

"This school has a very racist environment and will never be able to overcome the fact that they are in a diverse community."

"I graduated from this high school and don't have any complaints. Most of the teachers there are very nice and are fair when it comes to grades. Yes, Newtown has a bad reputation because of fights and other problems but it depends on the student. If your not looking for trouble, you won't have any. This school has plenty of options for extracurricular activities, ranging from a school newspaper to a golf team. You'll never have trouble finding something to do after school."
