Rand Report on Charter School Operations and Performance: Evidence from California
A new report on Charter School education has been released by Rand. Its an interesting read.
Link: http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR1700/index.html
Abstract:
The report analyzes an array of issues pertaining to accessibility, student achievement, governance, and operation of charter schools in California. Four specific research questions were investigated:
(1) What population of students attend charter schools?
(2) Is student achievement higher in charter schools than in conventional public schools?
(3) What oversight and support do the chartering authorities provide?
(4) How do charter schools differ from their conventional public school counterparts in terms of their operation, including finances, academic achievement, and staffing?
