Summary

Robert Treat Academy Charter School is a K–8 school in Newark, serving 702 students in a large urban community. Its 2025–2026 results are much stronger than those of nearby schools in the tested grades overall, making it the clearest local test-score leader in this comparison.

The school’s strongest results are in English language arts (ELA) and math: its averages across grades 3–8 were 60% in ELA and 49% in math, compared with nearby-school averages of 28% and 26%. It led nearby schools in ELA in five of six grades and placed first or second in math in every grade. It also exceeded state averages in every reported ELA and math grade, with overall leads of 9 points in ELA and 12 in math. Science is the clearest weakness against the state: the school averaged 17%, 6 points below the state, driven by fifth-grade science, which was 14% versus 27% statewide. Still, it placed second among nearby schools in fifth-grade science and first in eighth-grade science. Eighth-grade Algebra I was also below the state, at 69% versus 75%. Chronic absenteeism was 12% in 2024–2025, matching the Newark Public School District rate and below the state’s 14%.

Results have shifted over time: the ELA average fell 6 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while math rose 9 points; Algebra I end-of-course proficiency fell 16 points to 69%, though it remained above the state’s 40%. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 58th percentile with 3 stars, the highest current standing among the nearby schools; Maria Varisco Rogers Charter School is next at the 44th percentile. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings are especially high for African American Students (91st percentile, 5 stars) and Low Socio Economic Status Students (90th percentile, 5 stars), indicating particularly strong rankings for how the school serves these groups.
