NCES RELEASES SCHOOL CHOICE IN THE UNITED STATES REPORT


new report the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) “finds that charter school and public school students have the same academic performance in testing conducted at the fourth- and eighth-grade level.” (See Charter School and Public School Students Have Same Academic Performance, Report Finds)
I went through the report this morning on the plane and here are a few interesting tables I thought you might want to check out.

Interestingly the largest proportion of students attending charters are Latinx (33%) then Whites (32%) then Blacks (26%) https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2019/2019106.pdf
