I do not know about graduation rates or attendance. Since those are the terms on which the DC Charter School Board evaluates their own schools, their website may well have the answer to your question. Someone at the shanker blog (@shankerblog) may also be able to answer your question or refer you to a study that does. I'll see what I can find out for you.Rachel Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06844728669493681943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836584065506164163.post-52057014431932621172011-12-13T14:03:19.430-05:002011-12-13T14:03:19.430-05:00Is the performance (attendance, scores, graduation...Is the performance (attendance, scores, graduation, etc.) between charters and DCPS that significant?Darren Burrishttp://www.commoncoreonline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836584065506164163.post-14803920321689895312011-12-13T13:15:24.618-05:002011-12-13T13:15:24.618-05:00@Alec Thanks for reading & commenting.

My larger point is that if multiple factors affected student learning before her tenure, they would continue to affect student learning during and after her tenure (which they have and did and will).Rachel Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06844728669493681943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836584065506164163.post-32307343409905516782011-12-13T13:00:03.218-05:002011-12-13T13:00:03.218-05:00I don't think anyone is blaming Rhee for the g...I don't think anyone is blaming Rhee for the gap that existed before she came. I think the point is that Rhee certainly did not make things better.Alechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856114475715077201noreply@blogger.com
