Robert Treat Academy Charter School

RTA is a good school but is lacking in social and physical activities for students. The ASK test and good grades are torturing kids to succeed and they have no time to anything else. 11 months of school is also TOO much, besides that I am happy with RTA.

As a parent of 2 students at RTA I am happy about the academic school but I completely disagree with Saturday classes and mediation class and the kids have no time to be a KId. if you concerning putting your kids there pay attention to the RULES of the school. They can't socialize with their pears and they have no time for anything not related to school. I am a frustrated parent and I feel sorry for my kids and as soon as I have a chance Ill move out of Newark and look for another school. Unfortunately the good grades is a priority in order to get more funds for the school and the children pay a high price in keeping that up.

I am happy with the level of education at the school. I think they need more activities for the kids (after care) and more breaks during the long day. Trips to the playground they built can't hurt either. The kids need a balance in the day of learning and release of energy. In my opinion they focus too much on test scores sometimes to the detriment of the students.

I love Robert Treat Academy School, because it gives my daughter an excellent education espcecially coming from a city that our children score well below average in the state test because of poverty. Robert Treat excells in teaching our children that are our future. Because of the well educated teachers and principal and the staff involvement in our childrens future, the kids and the scores of our state test are our proof of what Robert Treat Academy School has accomplished.

This school is like a private school but at a cost for nothing. My son is attending kindergarten and loves the program. He never want to miss a day of school. The teachers are wonderful and the staff is a gem. We are so bless to have this opportunity for my son to attend the prestigious charter school.

I am a student of the Rober Treat Academy. I have not been at the school fro long; only since second grade and I'm in eight now. This school has given me so many options for the future. The teachers and staff there are amazing and really know what they are doing. The school overall is great. Many students complain this school is too much but that's good. They are preparing us for the future. When I go off to high school and college I will look back and thank the Academy for all the options they've given me. This school is my second home and everyone there is my second family. I have every right to be extremly proud of my school. I'm glad I was one of the lucky ones to be accepted to the Academy.

I must admit that the school's mission is admirable and noble. In the beginning the school focused mainly on the students and the teachers were absolutely marvelous. Not not, things have changed a great deal latel and things are not the same. Things are not always as they semmm.

Robert Treat Academy is a school in which it's main focus is to score high on the tests. I feel as though these children also need to work on their social skills. There are barely any physical activities for them to do and when they have the opportunity to do so, (lunch) they are seated as if they were in jail! Communication with one another is also a key to success not just scores!
