New Jersey Charter School Analysis
(Center for Evaluation & Education Policy, 2017-11) Sugimoto, T.; Yel, N.; Ruddy, A. M.
Using publicly available data from the New Jersey Department of Education and U.S. Department of Education, CEEP conducted a study comparing enrollment, grade promotion and disciplinary rates, and student achievement between traditional public schools and charter schools. Primary research questions were as follows: To what extent do charter schools enroll “a cross section of the community’s school-age population, including racial and academic factors?” To what extent (if any) are there differences in disciplinary, expulsion, and promotion rates between New Jersey charter schools and demographically similar, traditional public schools. To what extent (if any) are there differences in student achievement between New Jersey charter schools and demographically similar, traditional public schools? Supported by data from the 2015/16 school year, CEEP’s visualization focuses on differences in charter school and traditional public school enrollment. The full report considers differences in disciplinary, expulsion, promotion rates, and achievement, as well as full details on methods. CEEP’s study was commissioned by the New Jersey Education Association.
New Jersey Charter School Fiscal Analysis
(Center for Evaluation & Education Policy, 2017-11) Yel, N.; Sugimoto, T.; Ruddy, A. M.
Using school aid data, as well as publicly available data from the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) and U.S. Department of Education, CEEP conducted a study analyzing the fiscal impact of New Jersey’s charter schools on traditional public schools. The analysis, which looked at the amount of funds transferred to charter schools as well as potential expenditure savings, focused on the following questions: How much have districts paid to charter schools, and how have charter school enrollments affected revenues? What are the potential expenditure reductions of traditional public school districts as a result of charter school enrollments? What are the estimated net fiscal impacts of charter schools on traditional public school districts (overall and per pupil)? Supported by data from the 2014/15 school year, CEEP’s visualization focuses on the amount transferred to charter schools by each traditional school district. The full report considers potential expenditure savings and the net impact on traditional districts; details on methods are also included. CEEP’s study was commissioned by the New Jersey Education Association.
