North is pretty good, mostly because of the funding and the fact that it's in a more middle to high income area. Sometimes incidents happen but that's to be expected in a high-school. Feels safe and has cool and good classes with Kostya good teachers. The facilities are mostly clean, although sometimes there might be some shenanigans in there. School is pretty clean, sometimes the stairs are dusty but that's not a huge deal, Dean's and counselers are cool too, so overall a good school. Would recommend!
Newton North preaches acceptance and academic work ethic, as well as positive mental health goals. In order to be a good school, one must meet basic necessities like safety, which I feel any good school does. However, what makes Newton North so special is its course selection. Throughout all 4 years at Newton North, you are not just allowed but are encouraged to take electives, outside what most people would think of as "regular classes," whether it be automotive, carpentry, culinary, or financial planning and banking. Freshmen can take multiple electives before in the coming years choosing one to major in. But the course selection is more than just electives, upperclassmen (mostly seniors but to a lesser extent juniors as well) can take interesting courses like Ethics, Data science (with coding), or Middle Eastern and Latin American history. Lastly, these classes are taught by teachers like David Bedar who went to court in order to defend the teaching of his controversial class.
My freshman year I participated in my core classes and took many art electives. Taking these art electives helped me build a community in the art department. At Newton North career and technical studies are just as important as academics. There are many options for students including graphic design, art, culinary, automotive, carpentry, and more. Students that participate in these classes are able to build friendships within those communities. I personally have built friendships with people in the art/ceramics community. I go there when my teacher is out and I have a free block, for lunch, and any other opportunity I get. I have a great relationship with the teachers in the program and I am able to communicate with them and they are able to help with issues that I may not feel comfortable sharing with my guidance counselor.
