GreatSchools Rating
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.

Team Academy is a great school with very well academics and teachers. Throughout the 5-8 grade year, the teachers there make sure to apply the work to students to make sure they succeed and excel. Overall Team is an excellent school regardless of the area it is in and also gives students a way to learn their culture and have more of a school spirit.

This is one of the best Charter Schools in Newark. The teachers are student friendly and if you child is struggling, they are on point to help.
