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.

Don't assume what someone is because you are wrong and spreading rumors could ruin someone's life. I was completely bullied at this school.

Newark is a very large high school that does have a lot of clubs/extracurriculars, but the courses and school environment overall are subpar.

I only attended for one year, and now I'm at C-TEC. The one year I was there I loved my teachers, but I felt like I didn't learn much. I came from Bexley, so I think we were further ahead there. I was relearning stuff I already knew or I was in classes with seniors and it was way too easy in most of my classes. But the teachers were nice, and so were most of my classmates.

Overall, this school is nothing but clownery. From poor teaching abilities from staff, problematic staff members and bullying, this school is really one of the worst schools out there, and I’ve been to many schools. I think the most unsettling thing is the amount of student drama and problematic stu...
