Charter schools blamed for segregation and achievement gaps
An Associated Press analysis finds charter schools among the most segregated in the nation with minority enrollments near 99 percent in over 1,000 of 6,747 charters as of 2014-2015. The piece notes mixed performance, cites Milwaukee’s Bruce-Guadalupe, where nearly all students are Hispanic, and discusses debates over desegregation, parental choice, and the role of charters in urban education plus perspectives from officials and parents.
