Private, Public, and Charter SchoolsWhich is best?
There is much debate because data doesn’t compare apples to apples
The demographics and location make a difference in the data
Private and charter school can hand-pick their students so data
Raw data scores of private schools scoring higher does NOT take in socio-economic factors
