8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is in 7th grade at Oak Hill, so his 2nd year there. I find that the teachers are great and truly care and get to know their students. The same for the principal and assistant principals. My son has an IEP due to slight Autism and ADHD and the educational and emotional support has been very good. Each year there has been a designated special education teacher for his classroom that helps to make sure those students with an IEP receive the additional help in learning that they need. Several of his teachers reached out at the beginning of the year to have phone calls with me to get to know their students needs better and were very open to my suggestions and comments. Last year, when needed, teachers were open to having a special meeting to discuss my son's needs and implement the suggestions so everything worked better for him. While my son is not the greatest student and would rather always be playing basketball than studying, I see him engaged, learning and flourishing here. Overall, I would definitely recommend Oak Hill as a solid school for learning.Parent Review7mo ago - Newton South High School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat reputation. Fails to live up to it. Academics are beyond mediocre and at times can be quite bad. Most teachers can not teach, some are excellent, it’s really all luck. Way better than it used to be in terms of academic pressure because at least kids aren’t offing themselves anymore….? Toxic social environment. Administration is performative and tries to push wokeness onto students but epically fails because kids are still bullies. If you aren’t wealthy, white/asian, obsessed with getting into an ivy, and insanely egotistical you won’t fit in with more than half of the school. South kids don’t appreciate individuality. They are mostly robotic and all the same. Pretty bad school overall. Miserable experience.Other Review1y ago - Zervas Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExcellent communication from the teachers and principal. The children are pushed academically, but in a way that is nurturing and supportive. The school has an engaged, diverse community. Although Newton is quite a wealthy city, the atmosphere is very neighborhoody and not at all pretentious. Really a loving, dynamic school environment for young children. Plus, the newly rebuilt facility is gorgeous.Parent Review2y ago
