    [The editorial review and decisions on this article were the
    responsibility of Anthony G. Rud Jr. of the Editorial Board Abstract
    Among the criticisms of charter schools is their potential to further stratify schools along ethnic and class lines. This study addressed whether Arizona charter schools are more ethnically segregated than traditional public schools. In 1996-97, Arizona had nearly one in four of all charter schools in the United States. The analysis involved a series of comparisons between the ethnic compositions of adjacent charter and public schools in Arizona's most populated region and its rural towns. This methodology differed from the approach of many evaluations of charter schools and ethnic stratification in that it incorporated the use of geographic maps to compare schools' ethnic make-ups. The ethnic compositions of 55 urban and 57 rural charter schools were inspected relative to their traditional public school neighbors.

    a job opening at Meridian Academy alternative high school was in Scottsdale, an affluentArizona suburb where and TV, but from big, traditional high schools.
    http://www.nwrel.org/nwedu/summer_98/article9.html
    MERIDIAN, Idaho— When science teacher Larry Ford got the phone call about a job opening at Meridian Academy alternative high school, "right away the red flags went up," he recalls. He pictured "kids with chains, motorcycles, Hell's Angels." The Hollywood-inspired images of knife-wielding hoodlums troubled the bookish teacher, whose last job was in Scottsdale, an affluent Arizona suburb where "Mama is a brain surgeon, Daddy's a corporate lawyer" and Junior is headed to Stanford or Harvard. "I am not streetwise," Ford confesses, recalling the trepidation he felt at confronting a classroom full of at-risk students. "I thought, 'Those kids'll eat me up.'" A single day at the academy vanquished Ford's misconceptions. The students he found at Meridian were familiar to him—not from movies and TV, but from big, traditional high schools. They are the "church-mouse quiet" kids who sit at the rear of packed classrooms, unnoticed. Sometimes they sleep at their desk. Often they're absent. They fall farther and farther behind while their teachers, unaware of their troubles, are "going 100 miles an hour" through the mandated curriculum. "I was looking at those little faces," Ford says, "and I recognized them immediately. I thought, 'I know you. You're the kids that weren't getting the attention.' All of a sudden, I realized these were good kids—these were good kids. It was the exact opposite of that image I had in my mind."

    you are here: Free-Market.Net Spotlight The prospects for school vouchers The prospects for school vouchers In a much-discussed ruling, the Supreme Court said that the First Amendment is in no way threatened just because some parents may use school vouchers to send their kids to institutions with a religious bent. School choice advocates immediately and justifiably claimed victory. "This was the Super Bowl for school choice and the kids won," said Clint Bolick, vice president for the Institute for Justice, which represents low-income parents from Cleveland receiving scholarships from the program at the heart of the case. But while the court may have cleared away a major roadblock to the use of vouchers by families that want to escape inadequate government schools, it didn't order school districts to adopt them that battle will be waged at the state and local level. And many advocates of educational choice buck the popular assessment that they won big by voicing fear that vouchers, if improperly implemented, might actually limit the options available to families. Among the hurdles to be overcome by voucher advocates are the so-called "Blaine amendments" to many state constitutions that were adopted in a late 19th and early 20th century anti-immigrant frenzy. The amendments were intended to prohibit public aid to the Catholic schools then serving the children of new arrivals.
