My son has been a student at Newman for five years. After the first year I was so happy with the…read moreschool and the caring environment, I applied for a teaching position and was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work at Newman. The class sizes are smaller, the curriculum is amazing, my son is an honor student and is excelling not only academically, but at life. I love working at Newman. We have the greatest staff and teachers that truly care about their students. There is genuine love for students and their families at Newman and it is a very safe and beautiful environment as well! The reviews below made me so sad. I am sure that caring parents reading the reviews will be able to read between the lines and understand that for whatever reason the reviews were written by people that were upset with the school for enforcing policies, behavior expectations, and school rules that are outlined in the Student Handbook - which every parent and student receives and then signs an acknowledgement of receipt and understanding. of the contents. Students are allowed to wear any jacket outside, the Newman approved school jackets are for inside. Newman does enforce the dress code and I am glad. If I am following the rules and providing the proper uniform for my child, I expect other parents to do the same. Newman is a school that follows the rules and policies. As a parent of a student here, and an employee, I am so happy. I have a good student that does his job and behaves well. If that is the type of student you have, or want your child to be, this is the place for you! Try it - you will love it here!

We came here for a football game and it was our first time visiting this campus. What a beautiful…read morefacility. We were very impressed and we were also impressed at how well they hosted parents and students from a visiting high school. Everyone from students to parents and faculty was just as nice as they could be. My only complaint and feedback for the school is that they are trying to go cashless on ticket sales and also their concession sales. Their ticket sells app, though simple, requires too many steps. I actually ended up buying tickets for a family that was very confused on how to navigate back-and-forth on the steps for the app. And that was one of their own families, not one of us visiting families. Well, the cashless set up at the concession stand was far more simple. Once again the reader was having problems, making the process far more complicated than it needed to be. Another thing that I don't think is too cool, is most students have cash and don't carry a credit card. So there are you in the app with kids to order things and then find out that they don't have a means to pay for it. So they need to streamline their cashless policy and at least figure out a way that kids can pay if they don't have a credit card. Review #2124

Although, this high school has an amazing rigorous academic program, which as a parent that's what we strive for our children to immerse in. On the contrary, there are many other entities that a school should provide to a student and especially a great academic student and athlete. These students work extremely hard on many different levels and through adversity just to be treated as a dollar sign instead of a child trying to further their future and become a useful adult citizen. Every child enrolled should be treated as an asset instead of a check. However, as soon as a hardship arises they show no empathy and lack concern. They are even willing to stop instruction immediately and hold transcripts hostage if the outstanding balance is not paid in full. Even after pleading to possibly set up a payment plan, this school rejected the idea and offered no alternatives or resolution for the unforeseen, unfortunate circumstance. There was no mercy nor grace, and to me, that is a very false representation of what a school like this should stand for. There are plenty of other outstanding schools in the area, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!
