The Effect of Charter Schools on School Peer Composition

  • Black students in both states are more likely to move to charter schools and tend to move to charter schools with a higher percentage of Black students, and those schools are more racially concentrated than the public schools they leave.
  • Students who move to charter schools are on average lower performing than other students at the public schools they leave and that this performance gap is largest for Black students.
