I really loved the academic opportunities I had and the constant push to learn more. I was always encouraged to learn more and exercise my academic curiosity whether it be in class or extracurriculars. In particular, I had a wonderful experience with the Speech and Debate team in which I found a second family and got to compete in something I am passionate about. The student-led leadership in Newton is also something to mention since many of the campaigns and activities are brought to fruition by students. That being said there is this undeniable pressure within the Newton public schools regarding academics and class placements. There are high expectations, which aren't always bad but can lead to issues regarding mental health.
I like the chance to choose our own electives, but there are some strange coursework requirements. Still, very good!
I like that there are many teachers who love what they teach and I like that they focus heavily on college readiness. There could be improvement with the school culture of high achievement, to the point of putting one's grades in front of their health and wellbeing is normalized.
