Stanford Shows Charter Schools Benefit Poor & Minorities More

A new study by the Center for Research on Education Outcomes at Stanford University found that charter schools benefit students from poor families, black students, and Hispanic English-language learners more than their peers in other groups.  “The results reveal that the charter school sector is getting better on average and that charter schools are benefiting low-income, disadvantaged and special-education students,” CREDO Director Margaret Raymond said.  See article from the Huffington Post:
