q2 · i? · causal · r2
Matched VCR analysis of 2,414 online charter student observations in reading and 2,161 in math from three online charter schools, benchmarked against average TPS VCRs; gaps reported in days of learning on a 180-day year.
"students attending online charter schools have substantially weaker growth in both reading and math than the average TPS VCRs. The gaps translate to 130 fewer days of learning in reading and 118 fewer days of learning in math for online charter students."
