The book compares the standardized test scores of both elementary
and high schools charter schools with the scores for regular public
schools located nearby. It examines the position supported by
charter school advocates that charter schools should be supported
because they outperform regular public schools. Given that charter
schools in Chicago have enjoyed a great deal of support from the
past two mayors, and that they make up some 20% of all public
schools in the city, Chicago is the perfect location in which to
examine this critical issue. Charter schools siphon money and in
theory better students from regular public schools at a time when
public schools in almost every big city faces financial
difficulties. Teachers unions oppose them, as do most liberal
scholars. Conservatives and big business support them, as do most
conservative scholars. The existence of charter schools is a most
divisive issue! Yet, little real data exist to allow us to properly
judge the effectiveness of charters. The current work changes that
by examining test data in a sophisticated manner that allows
comparisons between charters and regular schools. This work should
move the debate forward, but will no doubt generate controversy as
well.
