Hopes, Fears, & Reality

Launched in 2005 and edited by Robin Lake, this annual compilation provides objective evidence about what is going on in charter schools, how well they are doing, where they need to improve, and what can be learned from the research on these types of public schools. Each year, several authors examine current issues and controversies in both broad and specific contexts, assembling the evidence in the most balanced and informative way possible. Explore all of the editions: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2012.
