The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Newark High School is a fairly good school. Keeping order and being organized has never been a problem. However, the behavior and test scores of the students within the school have depleted significantly.

It's very fun & exciting. I transferred from my old school to there, and it wasn't a decision i regret. The school was more diverse so I was able to be around more people like me and feel welcome.

I liked how friendly it was in terms of race. I saw a lot of diversity. This school is very equal in treating all races, at-least with my personal experience. What I do want to see improve however is the environment. Most students in this school are so bad behaved and there are fights way too often. Students are often vaping or smoking weed in the bathrooms and it's kinda scary how often it happens. This is the main problem I have with the school.
