Charter schools outperform public schools in US, with NY results ‘among the best in the country’: studyBy Carl Campanile
June 11, 2023
Charter schools in the US are significantly outperforming their traditional-public-school peers across the nation — and by particularly large margins in New York City and other urban areas, an extensive new study reveals.
“This is not a fluke,” said Margaret Macke Raymond, director of the prestigious Stanford University Center for Research on Educational Outcomes, which performed the study. “The charter-school sector has improved across the country.
“The New York results are among the best in the country,” she added.
Previous national research from a decade ago showed the learning gap between traditional and charter students was much narrower in reading, with public-school kids actually slightly ahead in math.
Raymond, noting the learning loss experienced by students during the COVID-19 outbreak, said the new study revealing massive strides by charter schools in recent years indicates that elected officials and education policy makers must take a serious look at expanding charter schools or somehow replicating their success.
