Charter School Performance

According to the National Education Statistics Center, the number of students registered at Charter School has increased from 300,000 in the 1999-2000 academic year to 8 million in the 2010 - 2011 academic year. A charter school is a school that receives public funds from the government, but is managed by an organization based on a legislative contract or a charter of a state government. Under the management of the organization, charter schools do not need to comply with specific state laws, but they must meet Charter's criteria for responsibility.

Fact: In 2013, Stanford University Educational Outcome Center (CREDO) conducted the largest charter school performance survey in Japan. Researchers, as a whole, discovered that the charter school students had better performance than the local school pupils. Not only students studying mathematics at local public schools but also studying average of seven days a year. According to a study by CREDO in 2015, students enrolled in the charter school in the city increased math lesson hours by 40 days a year, reading time increased by 28 days compared with school district students. In both studies, the results of ethnic minority students with low-income backgrounds were more pronounced, and the more results, the longer the students entered the charter school.

Benefits of primary reading and secondary mathematics. In one of the main conclusions of Betts and Tang (2008), most studies showed that charter schools are superior to traditional public school students in primary and secondary mathematics. Similar results were found in the CREDO study. Credo found that primarily in elementary school reading, secondary school reading and mathematics where the income was high. Instead of faults in high school, Betts and Tang discovered that Charter School did not work well in high school math and reading. Even in CREDO's research, no evidence of net profit in high school age was found. In addition, students of "multi-level" (ie, K - 8 or 7 - 12) charter schools are behind traditional public school students in reading and mathematics.

A national charter school performance study conducted by CREDO at Stanford University Research Center in 2009 showed that only about one fifth of charter schools have higher test scores than similar public schools and test results less than twice the public schools showed that. . .3 At the beginning of the year, Credo announced the latest research that examined the 27 charter of the state, but there is little change. As explained by the National Education Policy Center, "The most important thing is that the charter school was generally found to be indistinguishable from traditional public schools in terms of the impact on the score of the academic ability test." 4
