What types of results have existing Charter Public Schools had?
A recent report by the nationally renowned RAND Corporation on the Chicago charter public schools shows that, for the average eighth-grade charter student in Chicago who goes on to a charter public high school, he/she has an 11% better chance of attending college and an advantage of 7 percentage points in the probability of graduating from high school. Chicago charter public schools send 83% of their students to post-secondary education, and 32% more charter public high school students attend colleges rated “selective” or “very selective” than do their peers at traditional Chicago public high schools.
