Very good school! Highly recommended. As a Newark high school alumni myself, I have no complaints about Newark high. I enjoyed the school and my son did as well.

Newark High School is an okay school but I feel like they should try to put school Spirit outboard, and make kids wanna buy shirts and make kids wanna represent the school
4/17/2023
the school had a decline through the years i've been there. academics were very poor, not a lot of help from teachers, arts program got worse, they promised certain classes and snatched it away, teachers and admin declined, and overall got worse. They are not preparing these students for college like they should be.
