by
Sara Bernard
Positive. Charter schools add choice and quality by offering an enriched education without the cost of private school or the restrictions and bureaucracy imposed upon traditional public schools.
Negative. Charter schools take money and resources from traditional public schools without necessarily offering a better alternative.
Neutral. Charter schools can (and do) coexist with traditional public schools, and the current findings do not point to a significant difference between the two.
