Science High School

this school kind of sucks, they haven't fixed the playground or cleaned the bathrooms, especially unblocking youtube. This is just like last school year, like what's going on? i can't believe my friends are leaving this school because how disrespectful the school

Newark Educators Charter School is truly a hidden gem in the city of Newark, NJ. The school focuses primarily on early elementary education, serving students from Pre-K through 4th grade.My daughter, who is currently in the 3rd grade, absolutely loves her school and is learning a great deal each day. She genuinely looks forward to going to school, which speaks volumes about the caring and dedicated staff, teachers, and administration.I’m so grateful to have found this school—it’s been an incredible environment for my child’s growth and learning.

NEWSFLASH: This school no longer exists. It hasn t existed since 2005. The school building now houses University Heights Charter School. I attended this school for Pre-K. I have many happy memories here, like praying before lunch with Mrs. Atwell, or having picnics on the grass by the playground. This was a lovely school. I think they went through financial issues, because they closed down. It s so sad that all the great, promising private schools of the nineties had to close down: Bethany Christian Academy, The Chad School, St. Lucy Filippini, among many others.

I really struggled with the way dismissal was handled at this school. I am claustrophobic, and when over 100 people were trying to leave out of one single door, it became very overwhelming and uncomfortable for me. I tried to calmly explain this to the staff and asked if I could exit through another door, especially since I was suggesting they let other parents use it too to make things easier and safer. Instead, I was told I wasn’t allowed, even though it clearly would have helped with the crowding. I felt dismissed and like my concerns weren’t taken seriously, which made the whole situation much more stressful than it needed to be.
