A multi-part series in the Washington Post on the city’s public charter schools appears in Sunday's and today's editions. An analysis of student testing data shows that public charter schools are doing better than regular district schools in boosting academic achievement, particularly among low-income children, who make up two-thirds of D.C.'s public school students. The series also alleges conflicts of interest of some members of the public bodies that regulate and fund the schools.
