Great Lakes review shows urban charter schools don’t perform significantly better than traditional public schools

May 07, 2015

Charter schools in urban areas don’t generate better outcomes than traditional public schools, according to Andrew Maul, assistant professor at the University of California Santa Barbara. Maul reviewed the Urban Charter School Study done by the Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) at Stanford University which states “charter schools in urban environments provide a slightly greater test score advantage than those in non-urban environments."

In his review for the Great Lakes Center for Education, Research and Practice, Maul expresses concern over CATO’s lack of documentation, the use of untested assumptions, and the size and comprehensiveness of the data to make such a claim for charter schools. 

Maul said, “The findings of the report cannot be regarded as compelling evidence of the greater effectiveness of charter schools compared to traditional public schools, either overall or specifically within urban districts.”
