Read what parents are saying about Newton Middle SchoolMy son is entering 7th grade at newton and they truly made his entire 6th grade year a living hell. The principal and assistant principals are horribly rude and tried to hard to kick my son out for every little thing he did. Example: a classmate "pantsed" my son and pulled his shorts down, staff saw and did nothing. My son did it back to the student and he was suspended for 10 days. If you dont fit their cookie cutter mold they try and force you out. I wish i could send my son absolutely anywhere else but i am a single mom working full-time and moved to be closer to my kids schools so they could walk to and from and now that seems like a huge mistake. Dont send you kid here, youll regret it.
Posted by a parent on 8/6/2023I went to this middle school ever since 6th grade and all the way to 8th. I was in algebra for the first time ever. I didn’t know anything and I grew up in sped classes all my education, so I had no idea what was going on. It felt like my 7th grade teacher just threw me into the deep end and didn’t give me any help.. my 8th grade algebra teacher was rude. I asked my counselor to switch me out of that class but she said no since there was extra support only in that class. After that semester I went back to Sped classes. It made me feel worthless and was left too stressed. I failed Algebra because of the teacher. I was good at advocating for myself but with teachers I don’t feel comfortable with I can’t do it. For example, My history teacher was nice, I loved him because he saw something other teachers didn’t. He was I feel the only teacher who made me come to school. Now him and my gym teacher had motivated me to do well in High School. Every other teacher would just throw their students off into high school to teach another level. Too me that’s not caring as a teacher, that’s just you wanting to get paid and get out..
Posted by a community member on 7/16/2023This school has been awful for me ever since I started. My counselor made my life worse after 7th grade after I loved a teacher that helped me throughout the year.. my mom doesn't like the teachers here because how they treat people with 504's and IEP's. They never pay extra attention to another student when they ask, and they also fail you if you are not at school for a day. (I have a seizure disorder, leading to so many seizures and doctors appointments) they never care when they say they do... I know they never respect others for something they have. I feel this school is only for white boys who do sports and are popular... DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!
Posted by a student on 5/22/2023When my child started to struggle Mr O’Tremba threw him out like the trash. In January, it was noted my son failed every math test and he was told just “go to class and do your best most kids take Algebra 2 times.” My son finished the year failing every math test and now believes he cannot do math (including that year, he was in advanced math… not anymore). Math teacher used racial slurs and humiliation (both of my kids experienced this but Mr O’Tremba continues to say he is an amazing teacher). I was continually told my struggling son was doing fine, Cs are fine and my expectations were not. My kid went from all As to Cs that is significant but it doesn’t matter. At end if year all grades were inflated without any reason, so Mr O’Tremba would look good?Newton is good for self motivated, high achieving kids. If your kid is average they will not be seen at Newton. Teachers are overwhelmed and can’t keep up or focus on the individual. No lockers in a brand new school so kids have to carry heavy backpacks and a winter coat all day. The COVID response was horrible. Teachers wore masks on their necks. All Kids had to eat inside as behavioral consequence for some kids leaving trash - rather than addressing the behavior they put all kids at additional risk?8th grade continuation was a list of Mr. O’Tremba’s accomplishments. He paraded kids around while totally demoralizing the non high achieving kids. It was awful. Smallest behavior issue or derogatory comment was met with a 3 day suspension (calling someone a Karen = 3 days). Middle school kids are testing the waters, they need to learn and grow. School gives no warnings and no opportunity to improve. Seemed almost every 8th grade boy was suspended at least once plus having COVID at least once, it was a horrible year for learning.
Posted by a parent on 11/5/2022I don't even know what to say here, but I am deeply disappointed with the school at the moment.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe only spent one year at this school but I have to say it has been fantastic! My son with an IEP was treated just like the rest of his peers, everyone loved him and treated him with such kindness! No bullies or anything, in fact he had handfuls of friends who looked past his disability and treated him like a friend! All the teachers here are extremely supportive and helpful. They make sure all of the students are getting treated fairly and they make fun creative ways to teach! Everyone there has been so thoughtful and amazing to my son, I couldn’t appreciate and think of a better staff, group of kids, or overall good school! 10/10!Parent Review9mo ago - Peabody Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWonderful school. Small size. Same teachers have been there for years. My kid loves going to school, is progressing well, and enjoys his time at the after-school ‘bear club.’ Would highly recommend.Parent Review4mo ago - Heritage Elementary School
