Charter School Studies

Here's a Washington Post article that cites and links to two studies about charter schools. Nationally, charter schools only teach about 4% of the nation's students, but everyone seems to think that number will grow.

Here's a link to two Western Michigan University/National Education Policy Center studies about both for-profit and non-profit educational management organizations for charter schools.

From that report, I got the following:

The five states with the highest numbers of schools managed by for-profit EMOs are Michigan (185), Florida (145), Arizona (99), Ohio (92) and Pennsylvania (40).

and

Overall, it concludes that 53 percent of schools run by for-profit EMOs met AYP requirements in the 2009-10 school year, while 47 percent did not.
