III. Charter Schools and Their Students

This chapter describes charter schools that were in operation as of January 1996, with respect to the range of enrollment in charter schools, the number of newly created versus pre-existing charter schools (including how many were public or private schools), and the range of grade level configurations of charter schools. In addition, the chapter reviews the available data on the racial characteristics of students attending charter schools, the number of students who have disabilities, who are limited-English-proficient (LEP), and who are from low-income families. The chapter also describes how many charter schools are eligible for and receive Title I funding.
