The focus of most analysts involved in education reform seems to be whether charter schools are successful. This paper identifies 53 research-based studies that draw mainly objective conclusions based on evaluation of data. Literally, hundreds of policy papers, study articles, and analyses have been written on the charter-school phenomenon, an educational innovation that has skyrocketed from just one school in 1992 to more than 2,000 schools in place for the 2000-2001 school year. This report summarizes each of the 53 studies and offers critiques of charter schools. The majority (50) of these papers assert that charter schools have been innovative, accountable, and successful and have created both opportunities for the children who attend them and have had a positive "ripple" effect on traditional public schools within their jurisdiction. An appendix contains common criticisms from opponents and proof they are unfounded. (DFR)
