In the polarizing debate over charter schools, advocates insist charters are a beneficial alternative that especially helps economically disadvantaged students, while critics doubt these touted achievements. This new book, published by the Economic Policy Institute and Teachers College Press, sheds needed light on this debate by analyzing current research and data to show how charter schools perform compared to regular public schools. The Charter School Dust-Up: Examining the Evidence on Enrollment and Achievement looks at national data and studies in 13 states to investigate charter school enrollment and achievement.
1. The reaction to the AFT's report on charter school scores; 2. Can the 'dust-up' lead to a new consensus in education research and policy?; 3. Problems with the critiques of the NAEP report by charter school supporters; 4. Are charter school students more disadvantaged than regular public school students, and does this explain charter schools' unexpectedly low NAEP scores?; 5. What we know about relative charter and regular public school student achievement; 6. The philosophy of charter schools; 7. Conclusion; Appendix A. Using different standards for evaluating charter and regular public schools; Appendix B. Alternative presentations of NAEP charter school demographic data.
