Robert Treat Academy


?Department of Education Cheating Investigation Implicates Two More
Schools - Report claims that improvements in test scores at Robert Treat
Academy, a high-profile charter, defy all odds.? NJSpotlight, 11/14/2012

The state Department of Education?s year-long investigation into
testing irregularities in a handful of public schools in 2010 and 2011
has leveled serious accusations against two more institutions, including
a Newark charter founded by one of the state?s preeminent power brokers.

Late yesterday the department released critical investigative
reports of the Robert Treat Academy Charter School in Newark...

Investigators cited testing and security breaches by administrators
and teachers at both schools during the 2010 and 2011 cycles of the New
Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK). The department
claims that staff members coached students to correct wrong answers and
allowed for security lapses with answer sheets.
