The Newton Unified School District has its fair share of problems. Even though most problems that occur are average for a school the District handles them poorly. As of writing this, the Santa Fe middle school's gym is still under construction after the walls of the building began falling apart. At the high school a good portion of kids either smoke or vape, and while the principal has promised expulsion for anyone caught with a cigarette or vape, he has yet to fulfill that promise. I personally have seen many of these kids get off with a few days of in-school suspension or a few weeks of out-of-school suspension. Even though the schools have issues the sports programs of the schools are great, they have many opportunities for a student to get involved and have fun.
I like the small town feel of my school along with the large school opportunities. We have some really great teachers here. It's hard to keep students interested but there are some here that do an amazing job! Thank you teachers!
All my life I have gone to Newton and I have loved many things about it. I had amazing teachers and they all taught me well. I do notice though that the newer teachers don’t seem do teach as well as the older ones did, but I’m sure that is just because I am not used to them. Also another problem is the high school itself. It needs to be renovated in a great manner. When it rains we have to place buckets to catch the rain water and we constantly have problems with heating and cooling.
