Study: 40% of Charter Schools Worse
A national study of 2,500 charter schools found that “maybe 20 percent do better than the community public schools, 40 percent or so do worse and the rest are not having any significant difference,” said James Parisi, field representative and lobbyist for the Rhode Island Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals. Parisi’s comments reference a 2009 Stanford nation-wide study and are backed up by PolitiFact, which rated his comments as true.
