New Mexico Charter School Study: Findings Report
McCormick, Rachel; Harvill, Eleanor; Mendez, Jacqueline; Shea, Meghan

Conducted for Arnold Ventures by Abt Associates, the "New Mexico Charter School Study: Findings Report" collates the results of Abt's evaluation of numerous charter schools in the state, several of which employ a whole-school dual language model. The study also created multiple logic models for use by practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, and led to ideas for making enrollment in charters schools more equitable. Among the findings: the most rigorous analysis, a lottery study, found no statistically significant impacts on measured student academic outcomes for elementary-aged and middle school-aged students, nor on college enrollment for high school-aged students. However, the less rigorous analysis--a quasi-experimental study--had mixed results, suggesting high school charters increased college enrollment and elementary charters reduced mathematics achievement. [This report was written with Matthew Pahl, Michael Rodríguez, David Rogers, and Elizabeth Howard and produced in partnership with Public Charter Schools of New Mexico, and Dual Language Education of New Mexico. For the technical appendix, see ED613419.]
