The Evaluation of Charter School Impacts—Final Report
Gleason, P., Clark, M., Tuttle, C. C., & Dwoyer, E. (2010, June)
Washington, DC: National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education

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.”
