Extractions: A recent report from the U.S. Department of Education documented the phenomenal growth of charter schools, while a state-level study done in Colorado was showing how these quasi-independent schools can work at their best. In its fourth-year report on charter schools, The State of Charter Schools 2000, DoEd reported that 421 charter schools opened in the 12 months before September 1999 a 40 percent jump, the most brisk increase yet. In all, more than 1,700 charter schools have come into existence since 1991, and they serve a quarter of a million students. Thirty-seven states and the District of Columbia have passed charter laws. In fact, with 4.4 percent of its students in charter schools the highest percentage in the country the District is one of the places where charters have especially thrived as parents seek alternatives to inadequate government schools. According to the report, 58 percent of charter founders said they wished to "realize an alternative vision of education," while 23 percent aspired to serving a special population of children, such as those considered "at risk."
