This evaluation of “36 charter middle schools across 15 states compares outcomes” of students who won admittance to the schools through lotteries and those who didn’t win. The study finds that middle school charters holding lotteries were “neither more nor less successful than traditional public schools in improving student achievement, behavior, and school progress” and that their impact “on student achievement varies significantly across schools.”
