Description: Includes West Side High School (Codes 080/034) and Newark Evening (Codes 090/029). SUMMARY FINDINGS West Side High School is currently structured as a comprehensive high school. The 2012 facility condition assessment survey finds this school to be in FAIR physical condition. The original 1926 building is solid and was well built; however, the exterior facade and roof and sidewalk and paved areas are old and in need of repair, and many of the interior floors, walls and ceilings have damage from heavy student ware. The 1982 addition was cheaply built, and despite its relatively young age it will require significant investments to extend its service life. Additionally, the Educational Adequacy of the Classrooms is GOOD, while the Cafeteria and Media Center are undersized and inadequate in comparison to NJDOE Facilities Educational Standards (FES). With investment to remedy deferred maintenance deficiencies and modernize this venerable early 20th Century school build the structures useful life can be extended another 10-plus years as part of the districts 2012 long range plan. The 1-story 1982 addition is not well built or efficient and may be a candidate for replacement.
