Charter schools place competitive pressure on school districts to retain students and public funding. Many districts also have moved to decentralize control of budgets and teacher hiring down to school principals, independent of competitive pressures. But almost no evaluation evidence gauges the effectiveness of charter-like schools, relative to traditional public schools. We find that autonomous pilot schools in Los Angeles enroll more low-income and Spanish-speaking students, compared with traditional schools. Pilot pupils are significantly less likely to exit the school district. But pilot pupils displayed lower test scores in mathematics and fell slightly below traditional students in English-language arts, taking into account prior performance and their propensity to enter pilot schools. We tracked 6,732 students entering pilot high schools between 2008 and 2012, statistically matched in multiple ways with traditional peers from identical sending middle schools. We discuss the advantages of our evaluation strategy and the implications of our findings for education leaders and policy makers.

与特许学校竞争:洛杉矶试点学校的选择、保留和成就。

特许学校向学区施加竞争压力,以留住学生和公共资金。许多地区还采取行动,将预算和教师招聘的控制权下放给校长,不受竞争压力的影响。但几乎没有评估证据衡量特许学校相对于传统公立学校的有效性。我们发现,与传统学校相比,洛杉矶的自主试点学校招收了更多的低收入和讲西班牙语的学生。试点学生离开学区的可能性要小得多。但是,考虑到先前的表现和他们进入试点学校的倾向,试点学生的数学考试成绩较低,英语语言艺术方面的成绩略低于传统学生。我们跟踪了 6, 2008年至2012年732名学生进入试点高中,与来自相同送出中学的传统同龄人进行多种统计匹配。我们讨论了我们评估策略的优势以及我们的发现对教育领导者和政策制定者的影响。
