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.

For the year I have been going to Newark Community high school I have to say I love the place. The teachers and staff are great people and I am honored to be student here

The academics will hurt you when choosing a major. I wish I had good things to say, but I don't. Choosing a major is so insanely difficult because of the small range of classes they teach. If you don't want to be a Scientist, or go into Agriculture, you are in trouble. This school has 5 agricultural based classes, yet "no room" for more family and consumer sciences courses, such as fashion courses. It is very biased to go along with the pro-agricultural agenda, and it needs to change.

It was a close knit family like environments. All the students made new students and younger grade levels feel welcome!

9/10. Staff, and departments work well to ensure students are not only prepared for life, but for careers that will actually support them. Facilities lack, but what is missing in property is made up for by excellent, and genuinely caring staff.
