Summary:

The 07104 zip code area of Newark, New Jersey is home to two high schools: Barringer High School and Newark School of Global Studies. While both schools have similar graduation and dropout rates, the Newark School of Global Studies stands out as the higher-performing institution in the area.

The Newark School of Global Studies significantly outperforms Barringer High School on several key metrics. It has much higher proficiency rates on state assessments, especially in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 80% of Newark School of Global Studies' 11th-grade students were proficient or better in NJGPA/English Language Arts, compared to only 19.2% at Barringer High School.

Despite serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, the Newark School of Global Studies maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.6, compared to 16.2 at Barringer High School. This may contribute to its stronger academic performance. Both schools, however, face challenges, with their performance falling below state averages. Addressing these systemic issues within the Newark Public School District could lead to improved educational outcomes for all students in the 07104 zip code area.
