Subclaims¶

q2 i? New charter students outpace TPS VCRs in reading in their third year by an advantage equivalent to 124 extra days of learning; first two years show no significant reading difference. → Charter School Performance in New Mexico 2019 q2 i? Math growth of new charter students is not significantly different from TPS VCRs throughout the first three years of enrollment. → Charter School Performance in New Mexico 2019 (2)

Evidence¶

Charter School Performance in New Mexico 2019¶

Charter School Performance in New Mexico. (2019). Center for Research on Education Outcomes, Stanford University. https://credo.stanford.edu/reports/item/charter-school-performance-in-new-mexico-2/

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Matched VCR analysis (Figure 6) limited to students first enrolling in a charter between 2014-15 and 2016-17, grouped by first, second, and third year of enrollment; reading advantage in year three of 124 days.

"they outpace the average TPS VCRs in reading in the third year of charter enrollment and their advantage is equivalent to 124 extra days of learning."

Charter School Performance in New Mexico 2019 (2)¶

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Same years-of-enrollment analysis (Figure 6): math growth does not differ significantly from TPS VCRs in any of the first three years.

"In math, the growth of new charter school students is not significantly different from that of average TPS VCRs throughout the first three years of charter school enrollment."
