Abstract:

Charter schools and their effectiveness are explored. The structure of charter schools and what they mean for North Carolina is debated by many as the number of schools increases. Critics dislike the lack of standards and that they take money from public schools, but opponents praise the choices they give parents and students. The makeup of students enrolled is also discussed and graphs presenting North Carolina’s school enrollment by race in Triangle area is included, as well as FAQs about charter schools.
