OLR Report 2012-R-0131 examines the following statistics for each charter school and the school district in which it is located: (1) enrollment; (2) percentages of students (a) receiving special education services, (b) who are English language learners, or (c) who are eligible for free and reduced-price school lunches; and (3) student-teacher ratio.
The information appears in Table 1 in the report. All statistics, except the special education statistics, are for the 2010-11 school year, which is the most recent year for which data is available. The special education statistics are for 2009-10 because that is the most recent year for which special education prevalence rates for charter schools are available. The number of teachers used to calculate the student-teacher ratio is the sum of each school's and school district's general and special education teachers and instructional specialists. Special services staff, such as counselors and nurses, and administrators are not included.
