How are Charter Public Schools evaluated?
Charter public schools administer the same state standardized tests as traditional public schools and are held accountable to the results required by their charter agreement. And while one of the measures of student achievement may be standardized test results, there are others. Often a charter public school agreement sets a higher standard than traditional public schools, and they consistently exceed those standards. Charter operators are reviewed by the school board every five years, and if charter public schools do not get the results required by their charters, they are at-risk for termination of their charter and/or closure.
