Are Charter Schools Working?
Charter schools are becoming a huge piece of the market in some of America’s most troubled cities. In 2013, 93% of New Orleans students, 54% of Detroit students, and 44% of DC students enrolled in charter schools. As the enrollment increases, more people have questioned the effectiveness of the new educational system.
The US went from having fewer than 2,000 charter schools to having over 2 million in ten years. The 51% poverty rate among public schools has many proponents and opponents questioning: what other options do we have to help public school students reach their potential?

Of course they are working! They are being used to increase the graduation rate of the local, state-run high schools.
My son, who graduated from Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego, California, told me that he knew a lot of kids who had been pushed out of their high school to charter schools. If a kids had a low grade point average, the kid was “encouraged” to leave. I cannot verify this, because I do not have access to either the records that would show which students had left.
But, Scripps had a 100% graduation rate.
