Studies Show Charters More Efficient with Their Money

Interesting editorial by the author of a study on Indiana charter school says that charters perform as well or better in Indiana with less funding and younger less experienced teachers than public schools.

The author also notes that it normally takes six to ten years for substantial changes in achievement to occur. Could it be that charter performance is still on the rise?

If that's true, then in most cases when charters are performing at the same level as the surrounding public schools, couldn't that mean that in the next three to five years, we'll see that charters (on average) out perform traditional public schools?

If that is true, then we need to start looking at those successful schools and emulate their tactics.
