In two reports Public Impact has worked on, we look at charter schools’ effects, from a close-up of one school in Nashville to an entire district in New Orleans. We consider the 10 years of charters since Hurricane Katrina in Ten Years in New Orleans: Public School Resurgence and the Path Ahead, and the gradual conversion option in Expanding District Capacity to Turn Around Failing Schools: An Evaluation of the Cameron Middle School Charter Conversion.
