Charter school network files First Amendment lawsuit after state blocks AP scores from US News

Success Academy, New York City’s largest charter school network, is pushing back against the New York State Education Department (NYSED) over what it calls a violation of its First Amendment rights.

The charter network filed a federal lawsuit against New York State Education Commissioner Betty A. Rosa, challenging the state’s refusal to authorize the College Board to release Advanced Placement (AP) exam results for New York public schools to U.S. News & World Report for its annual high school rankings.
