What to Know About Charter High Schools

Conor P. Williams was quoted in U.S. News & World Report on the strengths of charter schools:

Conor Williams, senior researcher in the Education Policy program at think tank New America, says one the great strengths of charter schools is that most are open to students outside the immediate neighborhood.

“They are schools of choice,” he says, “meaning, unlike a district school, a neighborhood school, you cannot purchase a house that will give you automatic access to the charter school.”
