I know most people in here are union members/supporters and public school employees, and therefore consider charters to be a threat. But the facts need to be admitted. Charters get better results with less dollars and parents love them. Hate on charters all you want, but it is clear that public schools are ill-equipped to compete with charters on a performance basis. How can public schools reform so as to present a more attractive choice for parents?
The Florida DOE has a new report about charter vs public school performance. Here are some highlights:
In 63 of the 77 (82%) comparisons, students enrolled in charter schools demonstrated higher rates of grade level performance than their peers in traditional public school.
The report concluded that the achievement gap was lower for charter school students in 19 of 22 (86%) comparisons. The achievement gap component included English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. When comparing learning gains, the percentage of students making learning gains was higher in charter schools in 88 of the 96 (91.7%) comparisons.
In comparisons of achievement and learning gains, African-American students in charter schools performed better than African-American students in district-managed schools in 89% of the comparisons.
In comparisons of achievement and learning gains, Hispanic students in charter schools performed better than Hispanic students in district-managed schools in 93% of the comparisons.
In comparisons of achievement and learning gains, students eligible for free/reduced lunch in charter schools performed better than students eligible for free/reduced lunch in district-managed schools in 93% of the comparisons.
For 2017-18 school grades, 47% of graded charter schools earned an “A” compared to 28% of graded traditional schools.
