DENVER — A new Keystone Policy Center report found following the return to in-person learning, Colorado charter schools saw larger proportions of students meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations and higher academic growth than students who attend district-run schools.
The research revealed charter schools outperformed district-managed schools on the state school performance framework. Third to eighth grade charter school students outperformed their peers in district managed schools on both literacy and math tests, and charter school students also showed more academic growth.
Wyatt Academy, a charter school in Denver where the majority of students are from low-income families, also saw an increase in test scores.
MicahSmith_TV Does the same study show the disproportionate suspension rates at charter schools in an attempt to push the less successful students and students who need more support out?
MicahSmith_TV No kidding? I'm surprised! I'm amazed! Or not.
