Newfield High School Reviews
Rating 3.48 out of 5 280 reviews
Newfield High School is a smaller school with many opportunities. The teachers at Newfield are dedicated to their students and help to create connections. The school has sport opportunities like track, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and more. There are enough advanced placement and college credit classes to graduate with an associates degree. Newfield has access to alternative classes at Boces and specialized classes at New Visions. There are many clubs at Newfield, before and after school. Newfield also has a band and chorus, as well as annual high school and middle school play.
Throughout my years attending Newfield Highschool I have enjoyed coming into school every day. The teachers and staff are all very kind and considerate, the are sociable and not overbearing, and most teachers offer extra help for anyone who is struggling. There are plenty of ways to get involved in school activities, through clubs, music, sports, and student government. Some facilities in the school leave something to be desired, for example the old bathrooms, however they still serve their function and work properly. The hot food served for lunch is not incredibly appetizing but the school also has a deli and vending machines where other food options can be bought. Overall my experience at Newfield High School has been very good and I always feel safe there and ready to learn and enjoy my day.
Newfield is overall a great school. I've enjoyed my three years here thus far, most of the teachers are kind and offer extra help if needed, and the environment is relatively pleasant. There are plenty of opportunities to take more rigorous courses if desired, and college advice/planning is given out in surplus. Unfortunately due to covid-19 it is difficult to assess the events here, but there is a general excitement about future plans now that things are up and running again. I certainly believe Newfield will provide you with a good education and set you up for the future if you take advantage of all its resources to the fullest.
