Report: Charter Schools Outperform Traditional Schools in Florida

Better in math, science and reading

Florida's charter school students continue to outperform traditional public school students, according to a report from the Florida Department of Education.

The report shows students who attend charter schools exceed their traditional public school counterparts in math, science, and reading on state assessments. Required by state law, the report, "Student Achievement in Florida's Charter Schools: A Comparison of the Performance of Charter School Students with Traditional Public School Students," is a statewide analysis of student achievement in charter schools versus comparable students in traditional public schools.
