   Senior: Masterman’s school community is very close knit and being a small school everyone knows each other. Currently there seems to be a lot of issues that has risen due to the COVID pandemic such as a shortage of teachers as well as the lack of resource. Although there are little variety in the sports and clubs at Masterman, club are fairly easy to startup if you were passionate about something. Masterman definitely prepares their students for college as well as teaching students how to handle stress…. Read 263 reviews

   Senior: Newark Charter School is a great school. They have great academics as they have great teachers and great variety of courses to take. The school is also very diverse in both their student and teacher body. The school also provides a variety of clubs and activities and even if your club isn’t there, you can create one and start leading it. Our sports are also good, but we aren’t as competitive versus other schools around us. One thing I would improve is our involvement in sports as they should be more competitive and build facilities to help our athletes. The food that they provide here isn’t good even though it is free, the school needs to find a different alternative that tastes better and that is actually edible even if it means charging for it….

   Middle School Student: I am currently in middle school at SCSC and I would consider it a second home. I believe the learning process is fit and customized to the student so that the student personally can grow as an individual in all kinds of aspects. The teachers and students are all very welcoming the moment you walk in. SCSC is not like other schools. I feel the diversity at this school is excellent. One thing that makes my school so unique is a little thing we call “100 Book Challenge”. Each school day we read 30 minutes of a book of our choice that is our level. Based on the student’s reading ability, we are matched with a level. We log a line every 15 minutes we read. The point of this is that if you reach a multiple of 100, you get awarded a medal and recognition of the entire school. I have not even scratched the surface of what makes my school unique and extraordinary compared to others, but I’m running out of room to write. (This only allows 1000 characters to be able to write)… Read 16 reviews

These said programs create an environment of independent learning, group collaboration, as well as personal and intellectual growth. I was in two of these programs and they have taught me more about myself as a learner than any other average classroom could.

    Middle School Student: I had a bit of a hard time throughout middle school, but I really enjoyed the theater and chorus programmes. There are some great teachers! I loved how Welsh Valley offered Artifacts, Waterbound, and ViewPoints to kids who learn better with experience. The library is very nice too! Having a time at the end of the day to do homework is very useful. One thing to be aware of is the fact that there are a lot of children who are depressed and it can get kinda stressful, as someone who had a friend who needed a lot of help. Also, there sometimes is an issue with bullying, but overall, Welsh Valley is a good school with great teachers!… Read 9 reviews

    Freshman: I personally loved my time at SHMS. The school provides lots of opportunities for its students: the variety of extracurriculars there are second to none, the music program is strong, and participation in athletics is high. One thing I will say is that while the students there are not explicitly judgemental, cliques are very much a thing and it can be difficult to branch out to other friend groups once your ¨crowd¨ has been established. I’m not a student of color or of the LGBTQ community, and I was one of the generic music/athletics/serious-about-academics kid, but from what I understand from some of my friends, if you don’t fit that description, attending SHMS can be tough. But overall, I loved my time there, and the environment, though predominantly white and upper-middle-class, is civic-minded and supportive…. Read 11 reviews
