Schools Without Diversity: Education Management Organizations, Charter Schools, and the Demographic Stratification of the American School System

  • Charter schools operated by EMOs tend to be strongly racial segregative for both minority and majority students as compared with the composition of the sending district.
  • For economically challenged students, EMO-operated charter schools more strongly segregate students than do their respective local districts.
  • EMO-operated schools consistently enrolled a lower proportion of special education children than their home district.
  • English Language Learners (ELL) were also consistently underrepresented in charter schools in every comparison.
  • For both for-profit and nonprofit EMOs, the segregation patterns of 2000-2001 were virtually identical to those in 2006-2007. Consequently, a pattern of segregation attributable to EMO-operated schools is being maintained.
