This school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, and a high percentage (90.77%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the community.

Academically, Newberry High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 165th out of 226 high schools in 2021-2022 to 192nd out of 235 high schools in 2023-2024. The school's performance on End-of-Course (EOCEP) exams is mixed, with lower proficiency rates than the district and state averages in English 1 and U.S. History and the Constitution, but higher rates in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 and English 2.

The school also maintains a student-teacher ratio of 17:1, which is within the typical range for high schools.
