WNYC - News - NY Charter Schools Score Well in National Study:
"NEW YORK, NY December 07, 2009 —New York gets higher scores than most other states for the quality of its charter schools, according to a national study.
The Washington- based Center for Education Reform, which supports charters, looked at funding, operations, and limits on charters. The group's President, Jeanne Allen, says schools do well in New York because there's a tough application process.
'They have to demonstrate their ability to teach, they have to demonstrate their ability to pursue their mission, they have to demonstrate that they know what to do with budgets, that they know what to do with law and the regulations that do apply,' Allen says."
