How does this analysis compare to last years EdSource charter school report?
EdSource researchers’ findings differed slightly from previous years, due in part to differences in the study model. Even with these changes, however, this third annual analysis of how the state’s charter schools are performing-after controlling for student background characteristics-reveals certain performance trends. Charter high schools have consistently outscored noncharter high schools on the API, but charters’ math performance has lagged or not been substantially different. Charter middle schools have consistently outscored noncharters on all measures. And charter elementary schools as a whole have not done as well as noncharters on the API, due largely to lower scores on math tests.
