My experience at the school varies, my best wold be the many opportunities the school provides such as activates and college readiness. The worst would be the environment you really have to choose who to be around to help you grow and hold you accountable.

I would say NCA is a place where the community is enriched with vibrant people and he has a rigorous workload where you can get dual enrollment courses and Ap classes and credits while in highschool. Another is that you are able to be connected to people to where they help give you opportunities such as pre college programs job opportunities. They also have SGA where the student voices are heard to where they are able to change certain things. They also have field trips where the students get to have fun and let loose. Overall great school to be at.

I would like them to have a greater focus on the arts and not always shoving STEM or sports into everyone's faces.

This is one of the best Charter Schools in Newark. The teachers are student friendly and if you child is struggling, they are on point to help. The children love Team Academy and every morning these children are outside an hour before the school opens and the school opens at 7:20 a.m., that is how m...
