Summary:
The Newark Unified school district in California serves students from elementary through high school, with a total of 10 schools including 6 elementary, 1 middle, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district, particularly in test scores and graduation rates.
At the top of the district, John F. Kennedy Elementary, Birch Grove Intermediate, and Lincoln Elementary stand out as high-performing schools, ranking in the top 30% of California elementary schools. In contrast, August Schilling Elementary is the lowest-performing, ranking in the bottom 10% of the state.
At the high school level, Newark Memorial High has a strong 89.5% four-year graduation rate, above the district and state averages, while Bridgepoint High and Crossroads High (Alternative) struggle with much lower graduation rates of 52.5% and 33.3%, respectively. Addressing these disparities and supporting the lower-performing schools should be a priority for the Newark Unified district.
