This week, New York released its state test scores, revealing that for the seventh straight year, charter schools on average are beating their local school districts. Even more impressive is the finding that charter schools are outperforming statewide averages in every key high-need demographic and subgroup. In a press conference about the test scores, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg congratulated the city’s charter schools stating, “I think they demonstrate again and again and again that that model gives superior results.”
