“…Originally, education philanthropy supported standalone schools alongside the budding networks. Yet since 2009 foundations have largely allocated resources to charter management organizations, as noted above, for scalability and to limit risk by promoting proven models of schooling (Ferrare & Setari, 2017;Hassel, 2006;Quinn et al, 2012Quinn et al, , 2016. Generally, philanthropic support to CMOs likely limits representation by two means.…”

“…. The CMO was the fastgrowth, professionalized alternative that represented a 'second phase' of the charter movement" in which a small number of professionalized operators like KIPP would dominate charter schooling, particularly in low-income communities (Quinn et al, 2016, p. 29; See also Hassel, 2006;Meyerson et al, 2010;Wohlstetter et al, 2010).…”

Charter School Regulation as a Disproportionate Barrier to Entry

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In response to concerns regarding school quality, state policy-makers reformed their charter school authorization processes to impose greater regulatory barriers to chartering. These barriers to market entry could impose substantial burdens for Black and Latino would-be charter operators, as well as independent operators, who may lack access to social and financial capital. We test these hypotheses by comparing application outcomes from states with high and low levels of charter regulation, as measured by the National Association of Charter School Authorizers. Empirical analyses indicate that independent and Black and Latino applicants are disproportionately and negatively impacted by increasing regulation.

“…Charter schools—publicly funded but privately run schools that also allow families to choose them regardless of their neighborhood of residence—emerged in the 1990s. Although charter schools were promoted primarily based on their potential to improve student performance, early advocates also argued that they could result in school communities that were more demographically diverse (Hassel, 1999). Like magnet schools, charters weakened the tight bond between school demographics and the demographics of the surrounding neighborhood.…”

The “Good” Schools: Academic Performance Data, School Choice, and Segregation

We examine the effects of disseminating school-level academic performance data—achievement status, achievement growth, or both—on parents’ school choices and their implications for racial, ethnic, and economic segregation. Many researchers consider growth to be a superior (if still imperfect) measure of school effectiveness relative to status. Moreover, compared to status, growth has weaker relationships with schools’ demographic compositions. We conduct an online survey experiment featuring a nationally representative sample of parents and caretakers of children ages 0–12. Participants choose between three randomly sampled elementary schools drawn from the same school district. The provision of status information guides participants toward schools with higher achievement status and fewer Black, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students. The provision of growth information and the provision of both types of academic performance data guide participants toward higher growth schools. However, only growth information—alone, and not in concert with status information—tends to elicit choices with desegregating consequences.
