In 2015, the Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) conducted a comprehensive study examining the performance of urban charter schools relative to traditional public schools across diverse urban regions. Despite the report’s origination in 2015, its outcomes and observations remain pertinent in 2023, offering valuable insights into the achievements of charter schools within urban contexts. The trends and insights presented in the report offer an essential historical backdrop and groundwork for continuous dialogues and choices surrounding educational policies, the administration of charter schools, and ongoing endeavors to enhance educational achievements in urban settings for the year 2023.
