Newark City Schools

Newark High School Senior Steven Chiacchira has been named as a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist, qualifying based on his score in the 2018 Preliminary SAT (PSAT). Of the 1.5 million juniors nationwide who took the test, about 16,000 have been selected as semifinalists. Semifinalists have scored in the top 1 percent of all students who took the test.

The Newark City Schools' Class of 2018’s graduation rate reached 88.2 percent — the district’s highest graduation rate on-record, and nearly a 20 percent increase compared to 2008.  

 

“This increase means that more of our students are ready for life after high school, and it’s also an important indicator that the things we focus on are working,” Superintendent Doug Ute said.
