Despite what the foes say, NYC charter schools are working



Critics frequently argue that New York City’s charter schools are no more effective than its traditional public schools.

In the context of the New York City discussion, however, this is a blatant mischaracterization of CREDO’s work.

They have conducted this research in 27 states and cities to date, pooling the results to reach their nationwide conclusion.
