[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] California charter school study

[Lesley Farmer]

California's alternative charters have highest dropout ratesOnly 25
California high schools, or 1%, produce more than 20% of its dropouts,
and most of those are schools that specialize in students having
trouble in traditional schools. "Is the school doing a bad job, or are
the kids at risk anyway no matter what setting they're in?" asked
researcher Russell Rumberger. "If that many kids are dropping out, it's
unlikely that you're doing a good job."Rumberger, R. (2008). California
