Abstract: This report presents the results of three surveys of charter school parents, faculty, and administrators conducted in California between 1997-98. Findings from the surveys include: the majority of charter schools have waiting lists; parents' most important reason for selecting a charter school is the curriculum; and that charter school principals are successful in establishing strong school-parent relationships. The report also demonstrates evidence refuting the charges that charter schools are racially exclusive and "creaming" only the best students.
