Summary:

The 64 schools in Newark Public School District—45 elementary schools, 18 high schools and one alternative school—serve families in Newark from elementary through high school. The latest results are for 2025–2026, and they show that schools can have very different academic outcomes, even in the same grade and subject. The clearest example is 9th-grade ELA: Science Park High School scored 96%, while Eagle Academy for Young Men of Newark scored 4%, a 92-point gap.

Science Park is the strongest overall standout in these results: SchoolDigger ranks it 11th of 434 New Jersey high schools, in the 97th percentile with five stars. It scored 96% in 7th-grade math and 72% in 11th-grade science, respectively 58 and 43 points above state results. Technology High School also stands out, ranked 59th of 434 by SchoolDigger with four stars, and scoring 88% in 11th-grade NJGPA math. Among elementary schools, Michelle Obama Elementary School leads the reported 3rd-grade results: 56% in ELA and 63% in math, compared with state results of 48% and 49%. At the low end, SchoolDigger ranks Eagle Academy 434th of 434, and its 9th-grade Algebra I score was 0%, versus 22% statewide. Elementary science is also a weak spot: Ann Street School, the highest reported 5th-grade result, scored 27%, about 1 point below the state.

Results moved in both directions year to year, so the figures do not show a consistent area-wide trend. Technology High improved in 9th-grade Algebra I from 53% to 64% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while Park Elementary School fell from 71% to 47% in 8th-grade ELA. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile for Science Park rose from 89 to 97 across the three years shown, a ranking trend rather than a test-score trend. Context measures do not sort these schools neatly by results: for 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 80% at Technology High, 68% at Science Park and 85% at Michelle Obama. Their student–teacher ratios were 15.2 and 14.2 at the two high schools, respectively; these figures are context, not explanations for performance.
