Though Newton claimed to be self-taught, it is predicted that he was taught by Robert Hooke. It is also thought that after Hooke's death, Newton stole some of his ideas and claimed them as his own. After Hooke's death, a great number of his published works went missing from a library very few had access to and Newton was one of those selected individuals.

Newton didn't go to high school. They didn't exist in his time. It won't be until the 1900's that the first high schools began.
