3,000 Charter Schools and State Ratings

The public school charter movement has hit 2,996 schools this school year, the 12th year of the movement. The Center for Educational Reform provides a useful chart of each state, the number of charter schools and a rating of each state’s charter school laws as to their strength. For example, of the 41 states with charter statutes, six got an “A” grade and two an “F.” About 750,000 students attend charter schools this year.
