How are charter public schools performing?
By definition, charter public schools should always be working to improve academic performance. Some are showing positive progress and others are still struggling. In general, charter public schools tend to rank well relative to their district public school counterparts in middle and high school categories. It is important to note that some charter schools concentrate on educating “alternative” students with a focus on drop–out populations and credit recovery programs. The measures of success and performance for these schools are determined by the charter school sponsor. Below is a brief summary comparison of 2008 MAP Test performance for charter public schools and their public school counterparts in Kansas City and St. Louis.
