About schools in Newton County

Newton and its surrounding communities make up a quiet corner of Deep East Texas, where just three school districts serve a handful of campuses across the county. The schools drawing the most attention cluster around Orange and Newton — Deweyville High School and Newton Middle School both rank at the 28th percentile statewide, representing the county's strongest performers among six ranked public schools. None have broken into the top quartile statewide, which gives families a realistic picture of academic outcomes here. For those weighing school options in this rural stretch of the Sabine River region, the data suggests modest performance across the board.
