Choice without Equity: Charter School Segregation and the Need for
Civil Rights Standards

by E. Frankenberg, G. Siegel-Hawley, and J. Wang

This nationwide report is based on an analysis of Federal government
data and an examination of charter schools in 40 states and the
District of Columbia, along with several dozen metropolitan areas with
large enrollments of charters. The report found that charter schools
continue to stratify students by race, class, and possibly language,
and are more racially isolated than traditional public schools in
virtually every state and large metropolitan area in the country.

The study's key findings suggest that charter schools, particularly
those in the western United States are havens for white re-segregation
from public schools; requirements for providing essential equity data
to the federal government go unmet across the nation; and magnet
schools are overlooked, in spite of showing greater levels of
integration and academic achievement than charters.
