Newark Charter School was amazing in terms of preparation for college. The amount of work I had in high school was a good amount of how much work & homework I have for college. The teachers are really understanding & they communicate with the students very well about expectations. I really enjoyed my time on the sports teams; they added to the high school experience. There are many clubs & activities so almost every interest is covered. There is also a chance to start your own club, as long as admin approves!

I'm a sophomore at NCS (Niche says it's K-9 but I'd like to clarify that we go up to 12th grade now) and I've been going here since 1st grade.
NCS has an excellence sense of decorum ('decorum' is even in our Alma Mater) and I'd consider it much safer than some other schools.
We have a good range of activities, including an annual school musical, band, a variety of sports (however, no football, except flag football), honors clubs, math league, and even a Star Trek club; however, more emphasis is put on the sports like in most schools.
In general, we have good teachers and academics; however, our homework load is immense. Many students stay up until 1 AM or later finishing work, especially if they take AP classes. In addition, a lot of pressure is put on students to take AP classes.
We have a good amount of school spirit, but sometimes this is lacking (however, this varies per person and grade).
We're definitely pretty ready for college here with all of our AP courses.
Thank you!
I have been attending Newark Charter School since 1st grade. They have a high standard for decorum and excellence. You will definitely feel like your in a safe environment. Everyone around you is working diligently to get their work complete. The teachers have high expectations for all of their students no matter their learning ability. Newark Charter has unique clubs, extra-curriculum activities as well as in the arts. Although, I could go on about the numerous opportunities Newark Charter has provided me in my years of attending. I still believe there are some problems that need to be acknowledged. You don't see many students, teachers, or staff that are from the African-American descent. In other words, diversity is a major issue that needs to be addressed. In addition, I believe no matter how rigorous our math courses may be, how will that prepare us for the real world or college readiness. Overall, Newark Charter is a outstanding school that just needs a few adjustments.
