On June 13, 2011, MAPSA published their annual press release highlighting charter school performance on the 2010 MEAP test. Their release focuses on the state’s largest four cities, includes a number of supportive charts, and highlights the 66 PSA’s that exceed the statewide proficiency average for all tests and all grades.
When compared with students in demographically similar traditional school districts, charter school students outperform them on 16 of 18 MEAP tests.
Also, for those interested in closing the achievement gap, African-Americans in charter schools outperformed African-American’s statewide for the fifth consecutive year.
