Abstract Details

2011, Doctor of Philosophy, Miami University, Educational Leadership.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether charter schools produce higher test scores than traditional public schools within the largest eight urban school districts in Ohio. With an emphasis on techniques and contexts borrowed from critical race and feminist empiricist frameworks, this study examined state test data and provides insight into charter schooling reform. The results of the overall study suggested that charter schools were not performing significantly better than traditional public schools. The few times that differences did occur,traditional public schools were outperforming their charter school counterparts.
