Mom Seeking Good High School in Newark NJ

T.:
Newark has district high schools. In addition to those, they also have 4 magnet plus vocational high schools. Depending on where you live, you should be able to find a magnet or vocational high school that she can attend. The 4 magnet high schools are the best (University High focuses on academics, Arts High focuses on arts, Science High focuses on science/math, and Technology focuses on tech/eng. I went to a vocational high school myself and did fine; I've heard they are still good....you'll find several, Newark Tech-Market St, Girls Vo-No 13th St, and I think there is another one. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the Newark Area,

Newark does has some pretty good H.S. How are your daughters academics. There is Science H.S., Arts H.S and there are others, here is the link to the public school system, there is also the private schools. http://www.nps.k12.nj.us/. I too am looking for a good high school in the Newark area for my daughter who will entering the 9th grade this September.

You might want to check out Science High, Univeristy Hight or Arts High. These are supposed to be good schools in Newark. Also check down at NJIT, last year they had vouchers to a private school, I don't remember what the school was, but you can check with them.

I'm in the educational system and I grew up in Newark for the majority of my life. If your daughter is smart and talented, she will not have a problem. There is one school called Arts High for the performing arts, it is good academically and for the arts, however in order to get in the school, your daughter must have a talent. You also have University High and Science High School. Please contact the school for testing all of these schools require some testing and they are probably making their decision for their freshman class now. Take care and good luck. M. M.
