(Op-Ed) Fresh proof that charter schools excel
“A 2015 study by Stanford’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes found that urban charter schools ‘provide significantly higher levels of annual growth in both math and reading’ than their traditional-school counterparts. And those gains are ‘larger by significant amounts for Black, Hispanic, low-income, and special-education students in both math and reading.’
What explains charters’ success? Well, they’re largely free of government bureaucracy. And their teachers and staff are rarely unionized.”
