Teachers are nice but the school lacks diversity. Student body is 90% athletic, conservative christian white kids, and when you fall outside of that category, you tend to struggle to feel like you fit in at all. As soon as I left for a bigger school, I felt much more accepted and made friends with so many kinds of people I never would have met at Newton. Also, the only real extracurricular activities available are sports and the food was really bad. 3/10.
