New Town High School

Deeply saddened by how much this school has gone down. Education no longer seems to be the priority here. They can’t seem to get good leadership that’s cares about quality education in there. I was excited for my child to attend at first but it quickly became a nightmare. Stay far away if you can. Move into the district for Timbergrove or Owings Mills Elementary before you move to a zone in Reisterstown that will require them to go to such a circus.

My child goes to Hernwood and I’m very pleased with everything they do.

I homeschooled my child because I didn’t want them to go here but unfortunately I had to enroll them for 2 years, second and third grade before we just pulled them out. Administrators are really kind and nice but the school is poorly managed. They don’t communicate well. Teachers quit every year, every year it’s a new principle, good teachers are moved with unmotivated students and the bully culture is insane and there is absolutely no accountability for the tiny 7 year olds who are verbally and emotionally abusive. First generation children of African descent are mean to American Black children. It’s crazy. Even when you report them and they launch an investigation, you get a letter in the mail saying nothing will be done. We just decided to move to another county with better schools and better quality of life. Where were moved not only are the scores better but there is actual anti bullying campaigns. This school does nothing about the bullies they just tell the kids “it’s ok” and it’s not!

Cons: Tons of behavioral problems with students, fights in the cafeteria every day, tons of bullying, and too many inexperienced teachers with no control of classrooms. Consider a private school: Arlington Baptist or Sacred Heart. Do your child and family a favor. Do not enroll your children at New Town ES.

Solid education with flaws. Parent communication from teachers is lacking in the upper grades and college counseling is not super supportive or helpful as advertised. Considering the amount of tuition paid by families, the school leaves you with a feeling that you overpaid for a “meh” school.
