New Jersey Charter Data Roundup: A look at the 2010-11 Report Cards

Here’s a quick run-down on the 2010-11 New Jersey School Report Card data on charter schools. No-one else is putting out decent summaries of this stuff, so I feel obligated to revisit these data periodically. They don’t change much over time. But those older blog posts get buried over time. So, here we go.
Let’s take a specific look at Newark because that’s where most of our attention has been paid regarding high flying charter performance.
Data sources:
1. NJDOE Report Card
2. NJDOE Enrollment File
3. NJDOE Directory File (for City location)
