High-stakes cheating allegations have surfaced at some city public schools, prompting a state Department of Education investigation.
The DOE says as many as four city high schools are under the microscope for allegedly inflating Regents exams results to boost their graduation rates.
The four schools involved in the probe are Bronx Expeditionary Learning High School and Lehman High School in the Bronx, the American Sign Language and English Secondary School in Manhattan, and Science Skills High School in Brooklyn.
Initial audits say many schools "tended to award full credit even when answers were vague, incomplete or inaccurate."
Some allegations reportedly go back more than a year.
A fifth high school was recently cleared of wrongdoing.
