Newark Public Schools

Overview

Newark Public Schools is a large urban public school district located in Newark, New Jersey. It serves a diverse student population and operates as a Type II school district, with its Board of Education elected by city residents. The district has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century and has undergone significant changes, including a state takeover from 1995 to 2018, after which local control was restored.

The district provides comprehensive K-12 education through various elementary, middle, and high schools, implementing policies like school uniforms to foster discipline and unity. Early childhood education and reform are critical priorities, typified by initiatives such as "Project New Beginnings" and partnerships with the Bank Street College of Education. Newark Public Schools is dedicated to meeting the needs of a diverse student body and actively engages in community efforts, including the work of a Historical Preservation Committee to protect and celebrate its heritage.
