Correlates of Texas Standard Ap Charter Campuses and How They Comparewith Standard Ap Traditional Public Campuses

The research sought to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of Texas standard ap open-enrollment charter school campuses and to discover independent variables that may be utilized to predict effective charter school campuses. The data items used in the analyses were downloaded from the 2007-2008 Academic Excellence Indicator System (aeis), which contains a variety of data from all Texas public schools. Multiple statistical analyses were utilized including chi-square, anova, multiple regression and discriminate analysis. In order to evaluate Texas standard ap open enrollment charter campuses, their accountability ratings were compared with those of standard ap traditional public school campuses. The research evaluated twelve independent variables for charter schools to determine their relationship to accountability ratings, thereby providing charter operators indicators or predictors of accountability ratings to facilitate better academic quality. By analyzing the same variables for traditional public schools as charter schools, a baseline model was developed to compare the similarities and differences with the results of the charter school analyses.
