Newark Charter School Reviews
Rating 4.08 out of 5 97 reviews
Newark Charter School is a great school. They have great academics as they have great teachers and great variety of courses to take. The school is also very diverse in both their student and teacher body. The school also provides a variety of clubs and activities and even if your club isn't there, you can create one and start leading it. Our sports are also good, but we aren't as competitive versus other schools around us. One thing I would improve is our involvement in sports as they should be more competitive and build facilities to help our athletes. The food that they provide here isn't good even though it is free, the school needs to find a different alternative that tastes better and that is actually edible even if it means charging for it.
I have attended NCS since kindergarten. The majority of my experience has been positive, however there are some teachers that are just not that helpful. They must feel like they hit the lottery themselves by getting hired and now they don't have to try that hard. They have forgotten that some students will struggle and they are not sure how to handle that.
It was easy to get into the extracurriculars, and the staff are very nice and approachable. The food provided for lunches could improve in quality, and there are some rules from the code of conduct that could be removed. These rules include some strict dress down day rules, as they don't even impact the classroom setting whatsoever, and are a waste of time for everyone to get caught up in.
