The Effectiveness of Enrollment/Academia in Public Schools vs Charter Schools.

Introduction

Public charter schools are those schools that operate under a performance contract hence that renders them free from a lot of regulations created for traditional public schools whereas making them accountable for financial and academic results. Such schools are more autonomous in school size, staff, choice of curriculum, budget, lengths of the school day and they stand accountable for charter review, and result in production. Therefore, it is important to have the study that compared the effectiveness of the two different school systems so as to establish which if the two is suitable for the American child and society.

Research questions

1. What is the financial performance doe Charter Schools exhibit among as compared to Traditional schools?

2. What academic impacts do Public Charter Schools exhibit among students as compared to Traditional schools?

3. What staffing differences do the Charter Schools exhibit as compared to Traditional schools?

Statement of the problem

Up to date, charter schools are run in 40 states with about 5000 charter schools in the entire US where more than 1.5 million students learn. The number of this kind of schools is increasing with time but they are selectively within states and mostly in the urban regions. Sometimes these schools are closed for lacing funds or posting poor performance. A debate on the reliability and effectiveness of Public charter schools in comparison with traditional schools has been there for a while. Innovation Ohio (2013) claim that charter schools tend to have unfair funding as compared to traditional schools. According to Silvernail & Johnson (2014) even though certain researchers have claimed that charter schools are better than traditional ones in terms of performance, the diversity of context, designs, financial capacity, and many other factors make it difficult to have universal results about it. Furthermore, Jefferson County Public Schools (2010) opine that since the opponents or advocates of charter schools are the ones who report about it, research studies on the effectiveness of such schools has been biasedly reported. Therefore, such as topic requires objective study of a party who has no interest in anything apart from acquiring the truth about the society.
