Making the Grade
The Every Student Succeeds Act requires that U.S. states provide a public evaluation of the performance of each public school while providing broad discretion in how states devise performance frameworks. One common method consists of states assigning each school an A–F letter grade based on English and math proficiency rates and other measures of academic performance. Proponents of the summary letter-grade system cite its simplicity as a virtue, …
Weathering the storm
The COVID-19 pandemic imposed unprecedented disruptions on American education and contributed to profound learning loss. The stakes attached to learning loss are especially high for charter schools, whose survival and potential expansion or replication is heavily tied to test score performance. Using nationwide school-level proficiency data, this study examines achievement patterns in the charter sector between 2018–19 and 2020–21. Overall, it em…
Charter School Regulation as a Disproportionate Barrier to Entry
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 wi…
What Kind of Students Attend Cyber Schools? Pandemic Enrollment as Evidence of Negative Selection
Fully online virtual schools have consistently underperformed academically compared to brick and mortar schools. Scholars debate the extent to which these differences are due school quality or the type of student that attends virtual schools. The large number of students who enrolled in virtual schools during the COVID-19 pandemic provides a unique opportunity to revisit this debate, as the phenomenon plausibly attenuates negative selection into …
Charter School Closing Inequities
In some states, charter schools must meet inflexible, standardized performance standards to survive. Through lenses informed by Critical Race Theory, we hypothesize that charters that were established by African Americans and those which serve more African American students are more likely to close, and that state-imposed standardized closure rules exacerbate these inequities. We find that 31.9% charter schools serving predominantly African Ameri…

The Relationship Between Public and Private Schooling and Anti-Semitism
No previous research has directly examined the relationship between attending a public or private school as a child and people’s attitudes toward Jews when they become adults. This article sheds new light on this issue by using a large, nationally representative survey of over 1,500 adults in the United States to see how childhood schooling is related to adult anti-Semitism. It finds that even after controlling for a variety of background charact…
