I'm a junior in high school, thus I was wondering what is the best school in Newark and what kind of students they accept. I take one AP class in addition to two honors classes. My grades range from As to Bs. What high schools do you believe I can accepted?

Best schools in Newark are Science Park, Newark Tech, and Arts, I believe. St. Benedict’s is also great but that’s a private school.

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.

A bit unethical/not the best advice but if you do not need a good environment to perform (hard bc people need a good environment to do well) aka you can do well in any environment, you can join any school. Colleges care about your school so if they see you doing well in a "bad" school then they think you are resilient. but this is unethical bc "bad" schools are lacking resources. So go to the best school you can but if you cannot make it, it is not the end of the world.

Realistically, if you are enrolling now the district is going to put you where they want/has space this year. The magnet schools (Science, Technology, etc) you would need to apply for and I don’t think it’s open right now. I would anticipate going to whatever traditional high school is closest to your home.
