Urban Charter Schools Demographics in LOUISIANA March 2015
Introduction The is a report on urban charter schools in major cities in Louisiana Urban charter schools are at the forefront of public education and on- going efforts to create better outcomes for students. Many urban charter schools have a specific mission to target and serve students with the greatest educational disadvantages, either by virtue of family background or poor prior instruction. Others got their start as a way to deal with rapid urban growth that axed the capacities of local districts to provide buildings and staff to meet growing demand. CREDO studied the attributes of students and schools in New Orleans 2
Introduction Five criteria were used to select which urban communities to study; full details are in the Technical Appendix. CREDO developed a narrow definition of urban to select schools for this study. The aim was to choose schools that were within the joint boundaries of cities and school districts. Multiple sources are used to develop boundaries for urban regions, including NCES locale codes, school addresses, and school district information. More detailed information is included in the Technical Appendix for the study. Student & School Counts are derived from student test data. 3
Research Questions This study answers the following questions: What does the urban public education landscape look in Louisiana? How do the student attributes in urban charter schools differ from their traditional public school (TPS) counterparts? Does the level of achievement differ between students in charter schools and TPS in their same cities? Given the mission of some charter operators to target disadvantaged students, do we see proof they do so? 4

Comparison of Achievement Scores for Charter Schools and TPS 16
Achievement Scores Because charter schools may not be located in all parts of a city, they may not have the array of students and academic talent that exists across the larger number of schools in the greater public education school district. To show these relationships, we first present the community-wide average results for math and reading, as revealed via statewide testing regimes. The results are then parsed to show the results for TPS and charter schools in each region. 17
