Summary

Newark School of Global Studies is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Newark Public School District. With 378 students, it is a relatively small high school compared to some of the other nearby schools. Unfortunately, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years.

Academically, Newark School of Global Studies struggles compared to the state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.5% of 9th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.9% statewide and 36% in the Newark Public School District. The school's performance is even worse in math, with only 4.2% of 9th graders and Algebra I students proficient or better, compared to 20.3% and 38.2% at the state level. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 1.9% to 16.6% over the past two school years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

However, the school does show some bright spots in certain student subgroups. For example, Newark School of Global Studies ranks 138th out of 283 New Jersey high schools for its African American students and 87th out of 215 for its English Language Learner students in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the nearby Science Park High School and Technology High School significantly outperform Newark School of Global Studies academically, with much higher proficiency rates and graduation rates.
