Rating 3.65 out of 5 99 reviews
I was born and raised in Newark, therefore I have only attended schools within the district. Newark Public schools is composed of many diverse students. Education is very efficient and was taught well in showing that it is extremely important to become successful. Nonetheless, in my experience, administration could have been a bit more involved with students' mental health. Sometimes, it felt as if they truly only cared about their reputation rather than the state of mind of their students. In my opinion, it is important to have a good state of mind, in order to perform well on any exams or standardized tests. Furthermore, the district has proven to be great with academics.
My experience was a good one. Despite Newark is supposedly a bad city but the teachers there care about their students and they push us to surpass our own potential. I am very grateful to have the teachers I had over the course of my 3 years of high school. I am now entering my 12th grade of high school and will be graduating the year of 2021 with nothing but memories. All the stuff my teachers taught me I will most definitely carry that with me into my adult life. All the life lessons and examples they gave us I will remember. One thing NPS should change is to be more challenging when it comes to certain situations. If a person who constantly get A's in the class they should be promoted into a more difficult course than others. For example, the AP class. Some schools don't have any advanced classes for the students who doesn't have difficulty with their work so they're not challenged enough.
It’s not that bad. But compared to my other school (a charter school), what o learned there were more advanced topics compared to NPS. When I started my high school career at NPS, I was doing math that I already did in 8th grade. But overall, it’s more fun and you have more opportunities with doing college courses that my previous school didn’t have.
