New London is one of the worst schools you can attend. I attended there from 5-8 grade and it was nothing but torture. They treat children disrespectfully, and the older kids are definitely not good role models. The principal was very nice though, and he did every thing he could to help me. Overall, the only good thing about the entire school was the principal. Everything else made me want to run away screaming.

My children have attended three different school districts in Iowa and New London is by far the best one. They teachers are wonderful and really care about the kids. New London also has a wonderful child care center located right on school grounds.
