Horrible school!! Do not send your children here. Front desk is the worst. They are unprofessional and incompetent. Communication between front desk staff and teachers seem to be non-existent. The school is also a disorganized mess. The staff is also petty and vindictive. The school is rated poorly for a reason. I wish I knew before I moved into this area. So glad my lease is up in a few months so I can move to a better area with better schools!

Newell elementary has potential. The teacher and ta's are amazing and they all work very hard despite the lack of support they receive, the working conditions, the erratic and overall poor management from the administration. The principal and the administration here need to be investigated for the unethical culture and the manner in which they treat staff and students. Families, employees and children should not be subject to the bullying, retaliation and mismanagement that occurs at this school.

This school is terrible. If you can’t get your child in a charter school you should move. Principal lies about anything bad going on and doesn’t listen to teachers. Lots of good teachers left the school because of the crazy principal. Trying to move and get my child out of here.

I have to say, as someone who both attended and volunteered at this school, I am impressed with the growth this school has seen. I really enjoyed my time here, though I can safely admit I hated one of my fourth grade teachers who had no business working with students who were low-SES and minority as she had zero sympathy for them. Luckily, she is not employed there anymore. When I volunteered here, I was impressed by the majority of the staff and the fact that it really seemed to cater towards the socioeconomic and cultural needs of the students, though there were some teachers--for some reason, I seem to not click well with fourth grade teachers--who should show more compassion, I do have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and culture at this school. Overall, my experience with the school has been satisfactory, though I know it still had miles to go before it is perfect.
