Charter schools tend to rely on a much younger,less-experienced faculty that is considerably less likely to have a teaching credential and is less well paid than faculty in public schools.This is especially true in schools with low-income and minority students.In addition,charter schools tend to be highly segregated-much more so than public schools.As for student achievement,studies are now accumulating that show consistently that charter school students do not perform better academically than public school students,and by many measures they do worse.In addition,these findings have been supported even when comparing students of similar races and socioeconomic backgrounds.
