Academically, most of the teachers are great, but some have literally no idea what they are doing. It's important to note that MBS hires teaching staff who have PHDs in their field, but never learned to be teachers. In fact, my tenth grade chemistry teacher had a PHD in physics, but no chemistry experience past high school and no teaching degree, and he was very open about this. I feel that the dress-code goes beyond what is normal and necessary for a school environment, and stifles self-expression. Teen and pre-teen years are extremely formative in every way, including style, so to force kids to look professional everyday could have poor results. I think it's important to let kids have colorful hair and graphic tees, even if they look ridiculous by some standards. Let kids be kids. In my own opinion, high school should be a time where teenagers are guided along as they discover themselves and who they want to be. At MBS, it seems like we are guided towards a specific path, regardless of ourselves and what we want. If this is the path you're looking for anyway, this school will be your dream. MBS will deliver your stereotypical private school experience. Very shallow, very reputation oriented, very damaging to students that don't fit the bill.

Newark offers the international baccalaureate (IB) degree. It is a mysterious degree that the…read moreschool brags about that they use to claim they are a high level academic achieving degree. There are many problems with the IB program. The easiest problem to demonstrate is that IB classes and exams can only be taken in only in the junior and senior year. There are many amazingly academic students that must wait until junior year to take the IB exam. If you look internet you will see many smart student question this policy. Are all student homogeneous? Do all student suddenly become smart at the same time? The school had tried to get rid of all AP exams but have failed in many areas. The most notable is math. There are many kids taking AP calculus in middle school and quite a few finish both AP calculus exams in middle school. The school could not also get rid of AP history. AP history is done in the sophomore year. After further review the science depart felt that AP Physic C was more rigorous than IB Physic HL. There were problems with the Econ SL class that the econ teacher created a Econ honor class to replace it. Unfortunately all other AP classes have been banished from newark. At one time classes were designated as hybrids AP/IB classes. This allows many of its students to achieve AP national scholar status which requires the a student to pass for AP exams with a score of 4 or above. IB is also very expensive compared to AP for the school. The school tuition is outrageously expensive. IB program is contributing to this outrageous high tuition.

The school lunch is okay. You have a lot of choices. The health classes are really good. (Shout out to mrs.nienstadt). The school also helps get your drivers written test done. But the reason why I give the school a 1 star is because I had a really rough time here. I felt that I wasn't heard at all. My voice did not matter to them. Aswell with I had a very racist teacher they made it very apparent. I brought it to my counselors attention and said that's not something that teacher would do. Basically in other words telling me they didn't believe me. I had a teacher tell me I couldn't use the bathroom because I had her right before lunch. Taking my rights to use the bathroom away from me. The periods are 1 hour and 15. I couldn't hold it so I ended up walking out and go in trouble. I had a couple of teachers that were good to me that I had a close relationship to. I recently heard that there was a student in the school with a gun and did not put the school into lock down. Also, some teacher that is inappropriate towards others. Lots of smoking in the bathrooms that they had to put smoke detectors in the bathroom. On top of that only two people are allowed in the bathroom at a time so if you urgently needed to use the bathroom you can't do so. I hope this helps parents realize not to send their child to this school.
