2006 Accountability Report on Charter Schools Released

WISH-TV - Indianapolis News and Weather - 2006 Accountability Report on Charter Schools Released:

"The report rates 12 charter schools in Indianapolis, four new ones created this fall aren't included. At the heart of the report is what charter schools are doing well, but the report says there's also room for improvement.

The good news is charter school ISTEP test scores are improving. They are up seven percent during the 2004-2005 year and 22 percent since 2003. The report also shows that 87 percent of charter school parents like the schools along with 81 percent of staffers.

Yet the report says charter schools are lacking in accountability. That includes proper administration, documentation and even turning in state reports on time."
