Related Claims¶

• Impacts of charter middle schools on achievement varied considerably across schools and students — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• On average, charter middle schools' impacts on student achievement were negative but not statistically significant — related
• Charter middle school impacts were more positive for more disadvantaged schools and students and more negative for the more advantaged — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• In the earlier National Evaluation of Charter Middle Schools, admission to about 30 charter middle schools produced no significant average effects on achievement, though some schools improved achievement — related
• Oversubscribed charter middle schools differ in features from charter schools that are not oversubscribed — related
• A national randomized study of the impacts of charter schools on student achievement was conducted (2003-2010), prepared for the U.S. Department of Education — a broader claim this one bears on
