Summary:

Zip code 94560 in Newark, CA, is served by three public high schools within the Newark Unified district, including one comprehensive high school and two alternative programs, collectively educating over 1,450 students in grades 9-12.

Newark Memorial High is the clear academic leader in the area, with strong performance in English Language Arts, a graduation rate over 93%, and low chronic absenteeism, consistently outperforming both district and state averages in key areas. In contrast, the alternative schools, Bridgepoint High and Crossroads High (Alternative), face significant challenges, with much lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and severe chronic absenteeism, particularly at Bridgepoint, which reported 0% proficiency in core subjects.

An interesting finding is that the higher per-student spending at the alternative schools does not translate to better outcomes, highlighting the difficulties in serving their specific student populations. While Newark Memorial excels, mathematics proficiency is an area for improvement across the district. Parents should note the stark differences in environment and outcomes between the comprehensive high school and the alternative programs, which are designed to serve at-risk students.
