In Idaho, public charter schools are perennially some of the state's highest performing public schools

The mathematics achievement tabulations analyzed in this report are based on the U.S. Department of Education's National Longitudinal School - Level State Assessment Score Database.12 The NLSLSASD records in uniform fashion the scores
