A majority of the states in our sample have charter sectors that enroll a higher percentage of low - income students than their traditional public schools peers. (educationnext.org)
A decline in percentile points means that students are substantially falling behind relative to their performance in public school or relative to their similar public school peers, depending on the study. (americanprogress.org)
We will never have as much money as our charter and traditional public school peers, which means that we will always need to find creative solutions in our quest for excellence. (educationnext.org)
