Newfield High School

"If there was a way to could do no stars I would... this is a Terrible school. They Have no interest in helping the students strive for the best, instead their only thing is “ this is all you need to graduate “ they have the mindset of “this is all you need of get by”, when you don’t just “get by” in this world, you should want to be better and Strive to be your best! Also the “zero tolerance” rule is a JOKE... that Is not enforced or followed at all ! Their are no consequences for anything... and from Being a prior student, I would not recommend this school, go ANYWHERE else. I couldn’t wait to get out of their that’s for sure !"

"school is hell don't attend here plus 8 outta the 10 students here r potheads and vapers plus 8 outta the 10 teachers aren't so good at teaching instead they r good at not teaching and the school is going downhill used to be 2 cafes now theres 1 has 4 gyms but only uses 1 need air conditioning for the first 3 months of school and last 2 months in all don't attend here go to sachem or centereach."

"Teachers pass students based on whether or not they like the student and will porpusely instigate with students causing them to become hostile which good portion of times would get the student into trouble. Cafeteria food is absolutely terrible. Last time i checked chicken patties aren't supposed to be rubbery and stick to the wall and bread sticks aren't supposed to be hard as a rock. On top of that the school administration thought it be a great idea to suspend students for fighting even in the act of self defense. Also students are denied their rights. I remember multiple teachers and even the principal saying "as long as you are our responsibility you have no rights". you are better off home schooling your kids then making them attend this school that literally has a personal agenda against anything fun or enjoyable. Prime example they renamed the gaming programing class because "it sounds like too much fun". I understand kids go to school to learn but it doesn't mean the child needs to be glued to a desk all day. Please don't enroll your kids to this school. Take it from someone who actually attended the school."

"It has been many years since i graduated this hell hole. I feel i should speak my experiences as a warning to other parents. i graduated in 05. I was bullied horribly, because i wasn't a cigarette smoking trouble maker. The students were despicable. I woke up crying almost every morning for 2 years, i was bullied so bad. Begging teachers and principles for help did nothing. I was in the principles office asking for help at least 2-3 times a week, but nothing ever changed, nothing ever happened to the kids hurting me. Even my parents tried to speak out, they gave my parents assurance, but still no change. After awhile i stopped being afraid and fought back. I was scolded for fighting all the time. It would not have come to physical altercations if only i was helped. The assistant principle, Karbuto (not sure how to spell it), threatened to call the police if i continued fighting. Apparently defending myself after daily bulling from multiple kids in multiple class is frowned upon. The teachers were no better. The gym teacher threatened me with physical violence when i refused to accept discipline for someone breaking my cd player (the kid that broke my cd player was a "buddy" so of course he played favorites). When there was a meeting about this, the student witnesses that heard and saw first hand his provoking stance and verbal threats of physical violence weren't able to testify since "they had to be in class". Shame on me for denying them 15 minutes of the saturated educational system that school provides just so they could testify against a guilty teacher. The other gym teachers that saw/heard it all stood with him, denying he did or said anything (Union people always do). I am not sure if he is still there, but his last name is santiago. He also flirted with the 15-16 year old girls and "jokingly" gave them rear-end taps. The teachers at the time hardly knew the subject they were teaching. Some helped their "buddy students" squeak past a few tests when they got under 60. I have millions of stories but not enough space. Long story short, this place was a hell on earth. I developed horrible anxiety and require medication to live a normal daily life till this day. This place ruined me more emotionally than physically. But jokes on them, i became very successful. And to all the teachers that said i would not make it in life, that i was going to fail. In your face!"

"Best school I've ever been to! I moved here from Nevada two years ago. Great High School."
