Charter School Laws Ranked

January 2016 – Many states made significant improvements to their ‪#‎charterschool‬ laws in 2015, but only one state can claim that they were the best.

Florida scored 156 out of 228 — ranking  9 out of 43 states.

Florida’s law does not have a cap on charter public school growth, provides a fair amount of autonomy and accountability, and provides a robust appellate process for charter school applicants; however, it still provides inequitable funding to charter public schools.

Potential areas for improvement include creating authorizer accountability requirements and ensuring equitable operational funding and equitable access to capital funding and facilities.
