What school district is Newtown Middle School part of?
Although the curriculum is pretty well taught, there are several issues with this school. I find the schedule to be difficult to follow and unnecessarily complicated. Also, the building is extremely hard to manuever, especially for a newcomer. Finally, I thought that there wasn't much support for students from the staff. You are sort of on your own. From my perspective as a student at this school, I find it highly undesirable to learn here, and wish I went to school elsewhere. At least the neighborhoods around this area are very nice, and we are about 10 miles from New Jersey. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
