Charter Schools and Their Impacts on Students in the Short and Long Run

This presentation will discuss research on the effects of charter school enrollment on student outcomes. The webinar will include what we know (and don’t know) about the effects of charter school enrollment on both short-run outcomes like student test scores, as well as more recent evidence on long-run outcomes like college enrollment, persistence in college and earnings in the labor market.
