I would say Science Park, Technology High School, Bard High School Early College, Arts, and East Side.

Science Park is inarguably the best school in Newark. Like all schools in Newark they are not without their problems but access to different programs and stuff. Though not for everyone.

Screw technology.

East Side doesn't have a good rep, and the test scores and environment is not great, but it does have a lot of programs. I would advise against it, but it's also not the worst worst option as much as everyone makes it out to be.

Arts have a weird thing with admissions since they are focused in well the arts. Never applied there so I don't know much about auditions.

Bard is different since it is an early college institution where you can earn an associate degree from Bard College. The environment is pretty good and there was brilliant professors. But if you're a current junior, it would make sense that you would not go here, since while you can transfer, the early college program starts in junior year. Also, there are no AP classes offered.
