Test scores of students at independent charter schools in Milwaukee were no better in reading and math than those of Milwaukee Public School students, a study released Thursday says.
The report, released by the School Choice Demonstration Project and conducted by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Arkansas, compared the reading and math scores of 2,295 students attending 10 of the 14 independent charter schools in grades three through eight with a carefully matched sample of 2,295 students from MPS for the 2006-?07 school year.
