Urban Charter Schools Demographics

Urban Charter Schools
Demographics
in MISSOURI
March 2015
Introduction
The is a report on urban charter schools in major cities in
Missouri
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 St. Louis.
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 Missouri?
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?

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.
