Newman is great because it has an excellent community. Teachers, Coaches, Counselors, and fellow students all cared about me and contributed to my success. The sports teams are great; you'll make best friends and build character while playing competitively. If you're a Christian, then you'll have an absolutely fabulous experience. If not, you'll still feel welcomed and not forced into anything (except an occasional mass). Everyone there cares about you and almost 100% of the teachers care about their subject and their students. I feel way more ready for college and I think I have grown tremendously as a person. No school is perfect but I would highly recommend Cardinal Newman.
No complaints about the teachers. They are great as long as you’re at least trying to be a good student. The student body can be described as less than desirable. There is very little diversity. A lot of students tend to be judgmental, mean, and two-faced. The staff and administration show blatant favoritism towards certain groups of students, which is disappointing to say the least. The school attempts to promote the idea that there is a sense of a welcoming community, and as a senior I am yet to see the “welcoming” part of this community or the student body in general. All of this creates for a somewhat toxic environment for some students. If your looking for strong academics and ONLY that, this school is a great fit. My personal advice would be to save your money and go to a public school.
There's been a lot of ups and downs at Cardinal Newman, but honestly most of them were out of our control anyways, like that how the school burnt down my freshman year. But Cardinal Newman continued to persevere through every trial and tribulation, so that's a part of the community that I really take pride in. The resources and teachers there make it possible for everyone to succeed, and that's something I really appreciate and admire.
