(INDIANAPOLIS) - Indiana’s publicly funded charter schools first opened five years ago, but debate over their performance continues.
Supporters say the schools are making incredible progress, but others say the schools have not lived up to expectations.
The Indiana Urban Schools Association conducted a statistical analysis of 28 of Indiana's 37 charter schools, and findings indicated charter schools trail behind comparable public schools in the percentage of student passing statewide exams.
Indiana has 37 charter schools that teach almost 8,500 students.
