Foreword

USC / School Performance Dashboard / 2

Charter schools across the United States are proliferating and expanding at a record pace, especially in California. After two decades of offering school choice to families, the charter school movement in California has spurred the creation of 1,065 of the nation’s 6,000 charter schools. The growth, moreover, has been explosive: Nationwide, one in five of the new public charter schools that opened last year was based in California. Statewide, the number of charter schools has doubled every five years.

California has long been a particularly friendly state for charter schools. In 1992, the year after Minnesota became the first state in the nation to pass a law allowing for their creation, California became the second. (In November 2012, Washington became the 42nd state to legalize charter schools.)

Last fall, charter school enrollment jumped by 275,000 students nationwide – the largest one-year increase since the movement’s inception. California charter schools now serve more than 484,000 students. The number of charter schools nationwide rose by 381. Califor-nia led the nation in one-year growth, increasing its school count by 81 and its number of students by a whopping 17 percent. Los Angeles led the state, adding 33 charter schools.

The USC School Performance Dashboard, now in its seventh year, draws on California school data from 2003-2012 to rate charter schools on academic and financial measures of performance. It also provides an accompanying interactive site at www.uscrossier.org/ceg/ Unlike other school databases, ours assigns values – high, medium, low – to the measures and goes beyond state test scores. Dashboard users like to know which schools are doing well, which are in the middle, and which struggle.

Schools use the USC School Performance Dashboard to track their own performance over time and to compare themselves to other schools. Schools also submit our ratings in their renewal packages. A Bay Area charter school reported they used the data when describ-ing their school to college admission officers: “Our school profile gives us bragging rights.” Schools in the Top 10 use their position to help convince funders to invest in their schools. Teachers use the Dashboard as an employment directory – where might they like to work? Parents search it for charter schools in their community – what school is worthy of their child? The Dashboard’s financial ratings warn charter authorizers to put out fires before they blaze. Finally, the many foundations that support California charter schools use the Dashboard to judge the return on their investment.

What’s New

The Dashboard Team keeps up with new trends in education and schooling that may offer ideas for refining the indicators. The District of Columbia and 45 states, including California, have adopted the Common Core State Standards to better prepare students for college and careers. We’ve also observed increasing numbers of charter schools serving high school students – either by adding grades or by opening stand-alone charter high schools.

These developments led the Dashboard Team to develop three new high school-specific performance indices: curriculum rigor, high school graduation rate, and college-readiness.* We also now have two Top 10 lists – one for charter elementary/middle schools and the second for charter high schools.

A Report from the University of Southern California

Introduction / School Performance Dashboard

*Harold Urman, Ph.D. of VitalResearch compiled the high school data under the direction of Professor Dennis Hocevar, Ph.D., Rossier School of Education, University of Southern California.


One of the unique features of the Dashboard from its inception has been its financial data, despite struggles to obtain complete sets of financial data from the California Department of Education. But no more: eureka! With the help of the California Charter Schools Associa-tion, we categorized California charter schools into two types: autonomous charter schools that have total budgetary control, including over personnel costs, and non-autonomous charter schools, which operate under the districts’ collective bargaining agreements. Only financial data for the autonomous schools are reported and we will continue this practice in the future.

Feedback from our funders also led to improvements in this year’s report and the interac-tive site (www.uscrossier.org/ceg/). We added Google Analytics to register downloads of the report and to track users to the interactive site, including the duration of their visits and who they are by role.

Highlights

Over the years, the Dashboard has repeatedly shown that the primary differences between charter and non-charter school performance are at the extremes. Charter schools tend to have a disproportionate number of schools at the top and bottom of the performance spectrum compared to non-charters. This year’s findings continue to show significant dif-ferences at the extremes across many indices, along with dramatic shifts in charter school financing. Below are some highlights:

Reserves Ratios: Reserves ratios had been generally improving until this past year when there was a sharp increase in the proportion of charter schools in the lowest range (28 percent), implying that many charter schools were digging into reserves as a means of con-fronting public funding challenges. Charters saw an increase of 18 percent in the proportion of schools in the lower ratio ranges. There was a decline in all the higher ratio ranges with the largest decline from the 0.25 to 0.5 range where charters saw a drop of 17 percent. The data suggest that the trend of improving financial health among California charter schools came to a halt this last year.

Curriculum Rigor: With regard to curriculum rigor, charter schools reflect a pattern in evidence with a number of other Dashboard measures — overrepresentation at the ex-tremes. The proportion of charter high schools in the highest category is 42 percent versus 20 percent for non-charter high schools, suggesting that charter schools offer more higher level math and science courses than non-charter schools. At the same time, 29 percent of charter schools were represented in the lowest category, compared to 20 percent for non-charter public schools. In comparison to non-charter high schools, charter high schools are disproportionately represented among those that offer both the most higher level math and science courses AND those high schools that offer the fewest higher level math and science courses.

High School Graduation Rate: On average, charter schools experience lower graduation rates compared to all non-charter public schools. Charters are underrepresented in the top four graduation rate ranges and, as a result, are quite over represented in the range with the lowest graduation rate. These results may reflect the fact that charter schools are over represented in high poverty urban neighborhoods which typically experience lower gradu-ation rates.


This year, we are honoring two groups of high flyers among California’s charter schools, a Top 10 list for elementary and middle schools and a separate Top 10 list for high schools. This separation reflects the addition of high school-specific indicators in this year’s report.

As in previous years, rankings were based on the highest combined ratings on the academic measures, financial measures, and school productivity indicators. Eligible candidates were limited to autonomous charter schools, defined as those that are funded directly through the state and in complete control of their budget. Additionally, charter schools with enrollments of over 100 students that reported data for each of the measures were included. For the high school group, new measures included the Curriculum Rigor, High School Graduation Rate, and College-Readiness indicators.

Introduction / Top 10 Performers


Notable notes:

> This year’s list includes several “repeat performers”. These are Preuss School UCSD (#1 in 2012), Leadership Public Schools - Hayward (#2 in 2012), KIPP Summit Academy (#6 in 2012), Gertz-Ressler, KIPP Heartwood and University High (all tied for #7 in 2012), and Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) (#8 in 2011).

> Although the winners are somewhat geographically dispersed, 12 of the 20 are located in Los Angeles County.

> Of the charter elementary and/or middle schools, five of the Top 10 were middle schools, serving either 5th grade through 8th grade or, in one case, 4th grade through 8th grade. There were three schools that served K-5 and two served K-8. Among the high schools, two served 6th through 12th grade and the rest served 9th through 12th grade.

> As in previous years, the top schools varied in size. Not too surprising, the high schools were on average larger than the elementary schools, which had an aver age enrollment of 384 students compared to the high school average of 621 students. Although the high schools varied widely, six served between 300 and 500 students. Global Education Academy was the smallest of the Top 10 winners, with an enrollment of 240, while the largest, OCSA, served 1753 students.

> Fewer of this year’s winners are part of a charter network (CMO, EMO or other type of network), with only 45 percent of this year’s two groups falling under that designation compared to last year’s 70 percent. KIPP stands out this year, with four schools in the Top 10 elementary/middle list.

> All of the Top 10 elementary/middle schools serve a population in which 69 percent or more of the students qualify for Free or Reduced Price Meals, with four serving above 90 percent. In the high schools, the numbers served v aried more widely, from 6 percent to 100 percent; the high school average was 60 percent, with six schools serving more than 50 percent who qualified for Free or Reduced Price Meals.

> The percentage of students classified as English Learners ranged from 3 percent to 44 percent among the elementary/middle schools, with nine schools serving more than 10 percent EL students. Among the high schools, the numbers were also dispersed, ranging from 0 percent to 15 percent and only three schools served more than 10 percent EL students.

> Again this year, the schools vary in age but about half (six out of the ten elementary and middle schools and five out of the ten high schools) were established fewer than ten years ago, with the oldest (Preuss) opening in 1999.

> Eight out of the ten schools in each group served a predominantly Hispanic population.

School SizeCalifornia’s charter schools average a smaller enrollment (431) than that of non-charter public schools (645). Charter school enrollment has increased from last year’s average of 416.

Students/Computer RatioNon-charter public schools have a higher student/computer ratio – 15.5 students per computer – than do charter schools (10.3). Last year, charter schools had 10.6 students per computer.

Staff EthnicityCompared to non-charter public schools, charter schools have a higher percentage of staff members who identify themselves as white (65 percent of charter school staff, 60.8 percent of non-charter school staff). This is a shift from last year, when non-charter schools reported a higher percentage of white staff. Charter schools and non-charter schools have a similar percentage of staff members who identify themselves as African-American (3.8 percent of charter school staff, 4 percent of non-charter staff) and as Hispanic (16.4 percent of charter staff, 16.5 percent of non-charter staff).

Free or Reduced Price MealsCharter schools enroll fewer students from low-income families and the gap between non-charter schools and charter schools grew by 1.7 percent. The percentage of students who are eligible for free or reduced price meals at non-charter public schools is 59.2 percent compared to 54.3 percent at charter schools. The percentage of low-income students in both types of public school has increased since last year.

English LearnerOn average, charter schools have lower percentages of English learners (15 percent) than non-charter public schools (22.9 percent). The percentages have increased for both charter and non-charter public schools.

Student EthnicityThe overall ethnic composition of charter schools is similar to that of non-charter public schools, but there are some key differences. Charter schools’ enrollment of African-American students (10 percent) is notably higher than that of non-charter public schools (6.5 percent), and with white students as well (32.8 percent versus 26.1, respectively). Non-charter public schools have a higher proportion of Asian students (8.6 percent compared to 4.7 percent) and Hispanic students (52.0 percent, compared to 45.2 percent in charter schools). These numbers are similar to last year.

Parent EducationParents of charter school students have received more formal education than parents of non-charter public school students. While 59.3 percent of students at charter schools have parents who have received some post-secondary education (attended college, graduated from college, or received graduate education), only 52.5 percent of students at non-charter public schools have parents who have attended school beyond high school. Meanwhile, parents of students at non-charter public schools are more likely not to have finished high school (21 percent com-pared to 17.4 percent). These numbers are similar to last year.

The Report / Across California


s

School Performance / Academic Productivity / High School PerformanceAll California public schools with available data are included in the calculation of these indicators.

Each column represents one year of data.

Rankings for all schools were broken into quintiles (equal intervals of 20 percent). If a category is greater than 20 percent, there are more charter schools in that category than non-charters. Less than 20 percent indicates fewer charters in that category than non-charters.

n = the number of charter schools with the data necessary to be included in this ranking.

The vast majority of California public schools are non-charter schools, so their data will fall close to the 20 percent intervals. In some cases, the quintiles do not have exactly 20 percent within each tier due to tied rankings. However, for simplicity, we have rounded to 20 percent for each interval.

Understanding the Charts

Financial Resources and InvestmentThe Financial Indicators are calculated for charter schools only. To be included in the Dashboard, charter schools must report their financial data separately from the financial data of their district.

Each column represents one year of data.

Each color represents a range of valuesused in calculating the scores for the financial indicators.

n = the number of charter schools with the data necessary to be included in this ranking.

Reserves RatiosCharter Schools, 2003 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The Reserves Ratios Index is the ratio of reserve fund balances to total expenditures. This measures the portion of total expenditures that a school has saved in reserves, and therefore reflects the ability to weather future costs even if revenue is deficient. The Reserves Ratios Index is reported as a ratio instead of a ranking, and is not compared to non-charter schools.

TRENDS: Reserves ratios saw the first year of significant decline since we began reporting in 2003-04. The percent of schools in the lowest range increased drastically (by 28 percent) and the number of schools in the top ranges decreased. The data suggests that California charter schools faced significantly increased funding challenges in the 2011-12 school year.

Liquidity RatiosCharter Schools, 2003 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The Liquidity Ratios Index is the ratio of a school’s assets to its liabilities. This reflects the school’s ability to pay off its short-term debts, as well as the ability to raise additional capital, either through selling off or borrowing against its assets. A school with a high liquidity ratio is more financially stable. The Liquidity Ratios Index is reported as a ratio instead of a ranking, and is not compared to non-charter schools.

TRENDS: The gradual improvement in charter school liquidity ratios appears to have leveled off. There was gener-ally very little movement at any level this past year. The largest change in ratios happened at the 0 to 1 range (up approximately 1 percent), accompanied by modest reductions in the most liquid range.

Direct Classroom InvestmentCharter Schools, 2003 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The Direct Classroom Investment Index is the ratio of classroom investment to total revenues. Class-room investments include such expenditures as teacher salaries and benefits, textbooks, technology software, and curriculum. The Direct Classroom Investment Index is reported as a ratio instead of a ranking, and is not compared to non-charter schools.

TRENDS: The 2011-12 school year saw a change in direct classroom investment, with charter schools increasing the proportion of their budget allocated to resources inside the classroom. There was an increase of almost 10 percent at the highest level. Schools that allocate less than half of their revenues to the classroom declined by al-most 15 percent. These changes suggest that schools are spending greater proportions of their funds on classroom investment, not necessarily that they are spending more money on classroom investment. The change in proportion can also occur as schools cut back on operating expenditures.

School Performance Measures

English Learner ReclassificationCharter Schools, 2004 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The English Learner Reclassification Index ranks schools on the percentage of English Learners (ELs) who are reclassified to fluent-English-proficient (FEP). Only schools which had at least 15 EL students are included.

TRENDS: Rates of English Learner Reclassification continues to improve, if only modestly. Charter schools in the low-est range dropped by 2 percent. Differences between charter and non-charter schools exist mostly at the extremes with charter schools overrepresented, especially, in the lowest categories.

API Similar Schools RankCharter Schools, 2004 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: A school’s API Similar Schools Rank is a 1 to 10 scale that compares its API to the APIs of 100 other schools of the same type that have similar opportunities and challenges.

TRENDS: The API Similar Schools Ranking of charter schools saw little overall performance change this year, notwithstanding an increase in the proportion of charter schools in the highest range and a slight decrease in the lowest range. Compared with non-charter public schools, charter schools continue to be disproportionately over-represented at the extremes of performance but charter school performance is becoming increasingly similar to non-charter public schools.

Adequate Yearly ProgressCharter Schools, 2004 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Index ranks schools on several components of AYP: whether they met AYP goals in math and English/language arts and the percentage of their students who were rated profi-cient or above in these areas.

TRENDS: Adequate Yearly Progress in charter schools is largely unchanged. Charters saw a small decrease in the proportion of schools in the lowest group in 2011-12. At the same time, the top three categories saw a net decline equal to about 1.5 percent. The second to lowest group (3-4) saw the greatest change with an increase of over 2 percent. As with the API Similar Schools Rank, non-charter schools have a more uniform distribution than charters, which have higher proportions of schools at either end of the performance spectrum and the distribution of charter schools is becoming more similar to the distribution of non-charter public schools, suggesting that over time non-charter public schools and charter schools are becoming more similar.

Academic MomentumCharter Schools, 2004 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The Academic Momentum Index measures changes in a school’s student achievement over time, reflecting whether a school is improving, declining or consistent. It combines three measures of academic prog-ress: annual change in the percentage of students proficient in math; annual change in the percentage of students proficient in English/language arts; and annual API growth.

TRENDS: Academic momentum in charter schools has slowed since last year. The proportion of charter schools in the lowest range increased by 4 percent, and, despite a slight increase in the highest range, the proportion of charter schools in the top three ranges of academic momentum decreased by 7 percent. Compared to non-charter public schools, charter schools have a larger proportion of schools with the highest levels of academic momentum (26 percent versus 20 percent), and at the same time, a higher proportion of schools with the lowest level of academic momentum (22 percent versus 20 percent).

Academic Productivity Measures

English/Language Arts ProductivityCharter Schools, 2004 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The English/Language Arts Productivity Index ranks schools on their student performance on standardized tests of English/Language Arts compared to schools within the same district and districts with similar per-pupil spending.

TRENDS: Charter schools on average are continuing to gradually improve English/Language Arts productivity. The proportion of charter schools represented in the highest two ranges increased from 47 percent to 50 percent with corresponding declines across the bottom three ranges. Generally, charter schools on average outperform non-charter public schools in English/Language Arts productivity. Charter schools have a larger proportion of schools performing in higher ranges than compared to non-charters, and also a lower proportion of schools represented in the lowest range (18 percent vs. 20 percent).

Math ProductivityCharter Schools, 2004 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The Math Productivity Index ranks schools based upon math standardized test performance, compar-ing charter schools to non-charter schools within the same district and districts with similar per-pupil spending.

TRENDS: Math productivity is improving. The proportion of charter schools in the highest range increased (19 percent to 23 percent), while at the same time decreasing in the lowest range (from 33 percent to 31 percent). This year’s changes reflect the continuation of a longer, modest trend toward increased math productivity in charter schools. Despite this progress, charter schools continue to be overrepresented at both extremes of math produc-tivity when compared to non-charter public schools. Increased representation at the highest range (23 percent vs. 20 percent) is more than offset by increased representation at the lowest range (31 percent vs. 20 percent).

High School Performance Measures

Curriculum RigorCharter Schools 2011 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The Curriculum Rigor Index ranks high schools on the extent to which students in the school take higher-level math and science courses, in schools that offer grades 10 and 11.

TRENDS: Similar to many other Dashboard measures, overrepresentation at the extremes is present for Curricu-lum Rigor. The proportion of high school charter schools in the highest category is 42 percent, versus 20 percent for non-charter public schools. At the same time, 29 percent of charter schools were represented in the lowest category, compared to 20 percent for non-charter public schools.

High School Graduation RateCharter Schools 2011 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The High School Graduation Rate measures the percentage of ninth graders in 2009 who successfully graduated from high school in 2012 or earlier, in schools that offer grades 9 through 12 (students are tracked across the four years).

TRENDS: On average, charter schools experience lower graduation rates compared to all non-charter public schools. Charters are underrepresented in all of the top four ranges and, as a result, are heavily overrepresented in the range representing lowest graduation rates. These results may reflect the fact that charter schools are over-represented in high poverty urban neighborhoods which typically experience lower graduation rates.

College-ReadinessCharter Schools 2011 to 2012

Highlights

DEFINITION: The College-Readiness Rate is the proportion of students who score basic or above on state tests in English/Language Arts (11th grade), and higher-level math and science courses, in schools that offer grades 10 and 11.

TRENDS: Similar to the Curriculum Rigor index as well as other Dashboard indices, charter schools are overrep-resented at the extremes of College-Readiness. There is a grater proportion of charter high schools in the highest category (30.8 percent) as well as charter high schools in the lowest range (31.2 precent). Both exceed the propor-tion of non-charter public schools in those ranges (20 percent).

Understanding the Tables / Individual Charter School Scores

9-107-85-63-41-2

The tables on pages 26 to 54 show scores for individual charter schools, organized alphabetically within each county.

Charter schools included in this report were identified as ‘Active’ for the 2011-2012 school year by the CDECharter School Division. Of those, only charter schools with data are included in this section.

Both district and CDE data were used in these calculations. For additional information on rankings and sources used, see Appendices B and C.

Because of the state’s decision to discontinue data collection for CBEDS, the school rankings with regard to Teaching Resources and Teacher Qualifications could not be calculated. Therefore, the columns in the report on individual schools for these two rankings have been deleted from this year’s report.

The colors represent the categories found in the charts on pages 11 to 22.

A blank cell denotes insufficient data.

Autonomous charter schools are defined as those that are funded directly through the state and in complete control of their budget.

Appendices


The following section describes the measures we used to assess the performance of charter schoolsin California. It explains what data we used and how we calculated values for each of the 12 indices.

Financial Resources and Investment Measures

Reserves Ratios IndexThe Reserves Ratios Index is the ratio of reserve fund balances to total expenditures. This measure of charter school financial stability counts available funds to cover unexpected costs or to compensate if future revenues are less than expected.

Liquidity Ratios IndexThe Liquidity Ratios Index, which measures assets to liabilities, is a measure of a charter school’s financial health. It indicates a school’s ability to meet its liabilities as covered by its assets. A school with a high liquidity ratio is better able to raise additional capital, either through selling off or borrowing against its assets.

Direct Classroom Investment IndexThe Direct Classroom Investment Index is the ratio of classroom investment to total revenues. Class-room investments include such expenditures as teacher salaries and benefits, textbooks, educational software and curriculum.


English Learner Reclassification IndexThe English Learner Reclassification Index represents the frequency with which a school transitions students from English Learner (EL) to fluent-English-proficient (FEP).

API Similar Schools RankA school’s API Similar Schools Rank compares its API to the APIs of 100 other schools of the same type that have similar opportunities and challenges.

Adequate Yearly Progress IndexAdequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Index rankings include whether schools met AYP goals in math and English/language arts and the percentage of students rated as proficient or above in these subject areas.

Academic Momentum IndexThe Academic Momentum Index combines three measures of academic progress: annual change in the percentage of students proficient in math; annual change in the percentage of students proficient in English/language arts; and annual API growth. It measures changes in a school’s student achievement over time.

Appendix A / Definitions of Indicators



English/Language Arts Productivity IndexThe English/Language Arts Productivity Index measures academic achievement on standardized tests of English/language arts as compared to non-charter schools within the same district and districts with similar per-pupil spending.

Math Productivity IndexThe Math Productivity Index measures how well a charter school performs on math standardized tests compared to non-charter schools within the same district and districts with similar per-pupil spending.


Curriculum Rigor Index The Curriculum Rigor Index ranks schools on the extent to which students in the school take higher-level math and science courses, in schools that offer grades 10 and 11.

High School Graduation Rate High School Graduation Rate measures the percentage of ninth graders in 2009 who successfully graduated from high school in 2012 or earlier, in schools that offer grades 9 through 12 (students are tracked across the four years).

College-Readiness Rate The College-Readiness Rate is the proportion of students who score basic or above on state tests in English Language Arts (11th grade), and higher-level math and science courses, in schools that offer grades 10 and 11.

Snapshot

The Snapshot compares California charter and non-charter public schools across a variety of metrics, including school size, the number of computers available per student, the student-teacher ratio, percentage of English learners and Free or Reduced Price Meal recipients, average parental educational attainment, and both student and staff ethnicity.

Snapshot (Charter vs. Non-Charter) Indicators


Academic Performance Index (API)The API measures the academic performance and growth of public schools in California based on a variety of tests and establishes a statewide ranking of schools according to those scores. Most schools have an API, an overall state ranking, a ranking in comparison to 100 similar schools, and growth tar-gets for the following year.

Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/

Accountability Progress Report (APR)The APR provides information on state API results, federal AYP results and federal program improve-ment information.

Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ar/index.asp

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)A goal of the 2001 federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is to require schools and districts to measure and report students’ annual progress toward proficiency in English/language arts and mathematics. Progress is based on whether the school or district has met its Annual Measurable Objectives, dem-onstrated 95 percent participation on standardized tests, achieved its target on the API and, for high schools, met target graduation rates.

Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/

Charter School Alternative Form DataCalifornia Education Code began requiring charter school financial reporting during fiscal year 2003-2004. Charter schools can choose to use the Charter School Alternative Form. Charter schools that do not report in the Standardized Account Code Structure format must use the Alternative Form.

Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/sf/fr/csalternative.asp

DataQuestDataQuest is a database developed and maintained by the Department of Education that provides reports about California’s schools and school districts. It contains a variety of information, including school performance indicators; student and staff demographics; expulsion, suspension, and truancy data; and a variety of test results.

Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sd/cb/dataquest.asp

School Accountability Report Card (SARC)California state law requires all public schools receiving state funding to prepare a SARC. The SARC is intended to provide the public with important information about individual public schools, includ-ing school mission and progress towards goals; academic and demographic data; school safety and climate for learning; teacher and staff information; and fiscal and expenditure data.

Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/

Appendix C / Primary Data Sources


Standardized Account Code Structure (SACS)The SACS is a uniform and comprehensive chart of accounts for classifying the financial activities of California local school districts and county offices of education. Phase-in began in 1997-1998; by 2003-2004, all local educational agencies (LEAs) reported in SACS.

The Center on Educational Governance (CEG), located at the University of Southern California, focuses on the linkages between policy, governance, and the improvement of urban schools and the systems within which they operate. Founded by Priscilla Wohlstetter, CEG researchers use an interdisciplinary approach to study current policy solutions to the educational issues posed by di-verse urban communities– locally, nationally and globally. The main activities of the center are: (1) engaging in rigorous quantitative and qualitative research studies of policy problems; (2) building a knowledge base to provide researchers, educators, parents and policymakers with new tools and strategies for improvement; and (3) working in partnership with educators and policymakers to use research to improve policy and practice.

In addition to the USC School Performance Dashboard, the Center on Educational Governance has developed and produced other products and services for the field -- stakeholder satisfaction surveys for parents, students and staff; “how-to” guidebooks on charter school partnerships, family engagement, and the scale-up of charter management organizations. More broadly, CEG engages in research examining the quality, accountability and sustainability of public schools. Fo-cus areas include school and district governance, public-private partnerships, assessment policy, leadership/entrepreneurship, teacher labor markets and teacher policy, improving the quality of school systems, increasing accountability, and scaling-up innovations between traditional public and charter schools. CEG’s most recent book is Choices & Challenges: Charter School Perfor-mance in Perspective, authored by Priscilla Wohlstetter, Joanna Smith and Caitlin Farrell (Harvard Education Press, 2013).
