As a student at Essex County Newark Tech, I can only talk good about this school. It is a very diverse school that helps students prepare for college through programs such as the Teal program to earn an associate's degree when you graduate. The faculty is very supportive and the students are extremely friendly. I feel safe when I am in Newark Tech. I have learned so much throughout the years. I have taken college math classes and engineering classes. Newark Tech is a school many would enjoy !

My son only went to the school for 2 years and he has had the best experiences here. The CTU clubs are great and you can leave here with an associate degree. The principal of the school is heavily involved and makes his appearance to all things .

I graduated at Newark Tech this year and my most honest opinion is, Newark Tech should chose better. Newark tech is a great high school and I thank Newark Tech for giving me the opportunity to be there, but they have to chose better students, not all the students are calm, some students are problematic and they just don't wanna learn. Newark Tech is such a prestigious school, so they should have good students as well.
