Summary:

In order to sort out the claims and counter-claims that wars bring, this book presents some unique statistics on more than 100 individual public schools in New York City. Each charter school in this group is located in the same building with a traditional public school serving the same community. Test scores show charter school students achieving proficiency on educational tests at a rate several times the rate of other schools in the same buildings. -- adapted from book jacket.
