Newark school system is horrible! If you’re not in the right clique your children will not excel! Favoritism and exclusion is how they function! And the curriculum is a joke!!

2 of my children attended Newark middle school, and have been in the district all of there schooling. This summer we will be out of this district even if I have to pay for tuition to another school. The teachers and principles have absolutely no control at all. They don't communicate very well at all with concerned parents. There is a sever inconsistency problem with teachers. They never stick to school rules on the do's and don'ts. That has seemed to cause children with lack of respect and they don't fallow rules well, mainly because the school picks and chooses when they want to enforce the rules. The children are more interested in socializing then learning. In my opinion they are not a good school to get a good education at. Teachers haven't reached out to help my oldest with his struggles and never bother to communicate with me even after I would try to contact them. Not a good school for any child! We are not sending our children back to this district!

i was a student at NMS and if i was a parent and had children i wouldn't bring them here, because most of the teachers weren't focused on academical purposes .they were more focused on what kids wear to school. even if the shorts were long enough they sent you to the suspension room because you didn't have clothes to change in or didn't wanna change in your gym clothes. While its even majorly hot out. When there consently taking kids out of class; there missing alot of stuff and wont have time to get caught up , which they expect them to in one or two days. to make it less harder on your child or children don't put them in this school.
