My husband run a small private school in NH. We were fearful to send our special needs son to Newfound. I am so pleased with the Newfound High School experience. The students, not just some but many, treat my son like a rock star. They cheer for him at the Unified soccer and basketball games. They sit with him at lunch and treat my son with respect and acceptance. I am so pleased with the special needs program. I have been treated well and not talked down to. Quick story...I watched Christian walk up to a group of cheerleaders while at a basketball game. My heart sank, oh no, he is going to get a hard pass. I am so grateful to tell you they were so attentive to him and engaged with him. The overall vibe of the school has been impressive. Thank you Newfound High School. The High School has less than 400 students and studies show that small schools provide for a better education, overall.

Kids at Newfound spend a lot of effort simply trying to survive social and physical bullying and, thus, are not provided with ample opportunity to focus on learning. The school seems to put extra effort into allowing opportunities for kids to make up work, retake tests and just pass classes, which is not doing well to prepare kids for college educations or entering the workforce where they will not be given multiple chances to redo work. The teachers do their best, but the community and parental support are lacking which leads to significant behavior problems.
