42. Critical Issue: Dynamic Debate—Determining The Evolving Impact Of Charter Schoo For further information regarding charter school accountability, visit New American schools. Here, affiliate Education Performance Network s policy brief http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/envrnmnt/go/go800.htm

Critical Issue: This Critical Issue was researched and written by NCREL Program Associate Rhetta Detrich, Program Associate Rebecca Phillips, and former NCREL Policy Information Director Deanna Durrett. ISSUE: In the decade since the first charter school opened, an incredibly diverse array of charter schools have opened their doors to an equally diverse mix of instructional models, students, and staff. Stories of success, failure, struggle, and achievement have surfaced in this effort to improve public education. Tracking the true measure of their success will continue well into the new millennium, but there is no doubt that the dynamic debate they ignite has already had enormous impact in the educational arena. The pros and cons of charter schools have opened a dialogue, which in itself is impacting, energizing, and informing school improvement research, policy, and practice. This Critical Issue looks at that dynamic. This Critical Issue also puts charter school development in an historic as well as legislative context, posits three ongoing themes that permeate the ongoing debate surrounding charter schools, and delineates common traits among successful charter schools. Overview Goals Action Options Pitfalls ... References OVERVIEW: During the past 20 years, segments of the American public have expressed growing dissatisfaction with public education. The belief that education is failing many of our children has led to an exhaustive array of initiatives, movements, and mandates designed to improve educational offerings. All of these initiatives have taken place within the context of the traditional public school structure operated by federal, state, and local governing bodies.

CONTACT US HOME School Overview Who We Are ... Information for Investors School Overview Boston Preparatory Charter Public School (BPCPS) opened its doors on Tuesday, September 7th with an inaugural class of 110 sixth graders. BPCPS received its charter from the Massachusetts Board of Education in February of 2003. BPCPS was one of only five schools to receive a charter, from an initial collection of 25 charter prospectuses. BPCPS was the only school focused exclusively on the city of Boston which received a charter. Our mission is to utilize rigorous curriculum, extended academic time, and a range of supports for children and families to prepare 6th-12th grade students to succeed in college. An environment structured around scholarship and personal growth will cultivate students' virtues of courage, compassion, integrity, perseverance, and respect. At full capacity, we will serve 300 6th-12th graders. As an affiliate of the Academy of the Pacific Rim Charter School, we will replicate systems which have led to remarkable student achievement: APR students' MCAS scores and college acceptance rates have surpassed city and state averages. APR's program for character education has been studied by international observers and is described in numerous publications. At the same time, BPCPS will be distinguished by notable refinements, including enhanced supports for learning, a substantive, all-inclusive enrichment program, and a uniquely New England-based school ethos, inspired by thinkers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, W.E.B. Dubois, and Maria W. Stewart.
