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.

I deeply enjoyed my 4 years at Essex County Newark Tech. Despite being rep more for a year and a half due to Covid, Newark Tech helped us students embrace the change and provided us with numerous resources to make the transition smoother. Newark tech is a great environment for kids to grow, learn and thrive throughout their high school career and I can confidently say that Essex County Newark Tech is truly one of the best high schools there is.
