6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAwesome. I would not want my kids to be anywhere else. My daughter is in 1st Grade Chinese Immersion. She started last year. All of her teachers have been amazing. Mrs Neal in kindergarten and Ms Hardy in first grade were awesome.Parent Review6y ago - Shue-Medill Middle School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers are mostly good, some great. But the eighth grade dean is unnecessarily harsh and doesn't seem to care much when it comes to students' mental health. In eighth grade, there is a lot of schoolwork to be completed at the end of the marking period; with a high grade weight. But, I know for a fact that a couple of teachers made sure that all of their end of marking-period tests were all on different days. The only other terrible things there are to mention is that the kids that go there don't care about anything and start stuff without caring about the consequences. If one kid that doesn't care jumps another one of the good kids and just tries to protect themselves, they both get suspended. Also there is stupid bathroom pass rules that I totally understand, but they are kinda harsh for no reason to the good kids.Other Review5mo ago - Newark High School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth of my kids are current students at NHS. One is in honors classes and the other is in Cambridge Program classes. They are both very active in sports, band, chorus, drama, art and other clubs. The will also be a part of the new Acadamy of Creative Excellence program (ACE) which provides an emphisis on the performing and fine arts programs, which are OUTSTANDING. I am active in all boosters related to their activities. Out of the 3 high schools in the district it is the best school, and my kids love the activities. I have had some issues with lazy or burned out teachers, but all issues were resolved by either myself reaching out to the those teachers, or if no result there, the administration has dealt with it. I will strongly state that it is not a school for the unengaged parent. If I were to provide one main criticism it would be the lack of the ability to provide effective discipline for disruptive students, which takes away teaching time for the rest. I don't think I would send my kids anywhere else if given the option though.Parent Review10y ago
