“In urban districts across the state, charter public schools are the most effective in closing that achievement gap, often dramatically. Recent data collected by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education demonstrate how urban charters are producing incredible academic results for disadvantaged children.
While the achievement gap in urban district schools sits at 34 percentage points for African-American students, that gap in urban charters is 10 percentage points. In Boston, where there is a robust charter sector, the gap among African-American children attending charters is six percentage points, and Boston charters have completely closed the gap among Latino children.”
