Newtown High School

This was the 3^rd high school the parents placed me into, per my less-​than-​stellar behavior back in the day.
The teachers are only human. My advice is to sit in the front, you’ll be involved even if you don’t want to be. This school also has Newton Field next to Queens Center & its a great place to join a team and be part of a group.
The school itself is ok. Structure is old, classrooms are aged. Technology isn’t the greatest. Math/​Algebra isn’t thought comprehensively in any standard. So?
Stop crying like a lil b! tch & get some tutoring. Keep trying… till the sun burns out. Never give up!!!
If you are a kid going through woes, there are avenues to take within this school to help yourself. READ IT AGAIN…
Help is available, just ask a teacher to point you in the right direction.
Contrary to what you may hear, you can get to Ivy League colleges from here. Or you can get to the place where most «drop outs» settle. It’s UP TO THE STUDENT.
I did what I had to do here, and moved on.

I am a Chinese immigrant and I love this school. In China, all we need to do is to take the test, my school don’t care about anything except Your grade. When Chinese students grow up, Most of them can’t do anything except taking a test. There is much different from China. Students Have less pressure and they can do what they want. There even provides free tutoring, in China, you must spend a lot of money on it. Teachers are very good. Only one problem is the student .Many students don’t learn, they just think about playing. When teachers yell, they don’t listen .They even disturb other students in the class. But I still give 5 stars because it’s still better than China. By the way, the locker room is full of stink!

Its pretty sad how a few people end up giving Newtown a bad name. Now I have to be honest when I got into this school had the opportunity of going into on of the specialized high school but I just didn’t want to make the commute everyday.
I can truly say that Newtown has teachers that care. Even after graduation I have teachers that I’m still in touch with. Heck I’m always going back to the school every once in a while. Now there are teachers who obviously don’t care about the students — but you find people like that everywhere. There were fights but what school doesn’t. Honestly I can say in my four years there I only witnessed two fights and when I heard about fights it wasn’t even an everyday thing.
The one problem that the school has is the security guards. I don’t know if it was just my luck but they would always make my life harder walking in the hallways — with a pass… and yet I would see people who would cut everyday and were so familiar with the guards the the guards would walk with them.
If you get the right teachers (there are plenty — don’t want to name any because I don’t want to leave anyone out) and do what you are supposed to do Newtown is pretty good school.
Newtown Class of 2011!

i attended this school back 2000 and «education» was sort of lame, most of the teachers cared much about getting paid than teaching. but my favorite classes were, guitar and gym. the cafeteria a disaster!, almost every 2 days, students came up with immaturity fights. furthermore, their environment has changed drastically throughout the years, back in the days, students were more descents, nowadays, Guettos all over to the point that sooner or later this school had to close down!

Classes were a joke, teachers didn’t give 2 shits about the students. The security guards here are pricks. The locker room stinks! Mr. Ting is the biggest dick on the face of the earth and the varisty baseball coach is a fat prick.
The best part of attending Newtown would have to be Film History class. Watching films like The Godfather, Goodfellas, Star Wars, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, and more. Most of the English and Math teachers here were dicks. There is a butt load of FOBS here. I don’t have anything else to say about this school other than it sucks.
