Brief Description
The Progressive Policy Institute reports on ten years of chartering schools in Arizona and analyzes the potential risks and rewards inherent in the Arizona model. Many charter school supporters see Arizona's charter school law as the gold standard, while most charter opponents point to Arizona as evidence of the shortcomings of charter schools. Not surprisingly, the reality lies somewhere between these extremes. In this report, charter school experts Bryan Hassel and Michelle Godard Terrell tell the story of charter schooling in Arizona. This report delves into some of the pressing challenges facing chartering in the state, and concludes with some recommendations for the future.
