I love this school so much I've been here since kindergarten and they always help students. As of recent I don't like the new management and the new policies because it hinders students.

I went to Newark Charter from 3rd grade until graduation. The administration cared more about if our uniforms were perfect than they cared that we were learning anything. We were not prepared for the real world, they prepared us for college classes. Now that i am in college i don't know what i'm doing and i don't know how to properly prioritize my time.
