Abstract: Analyzing 28 national and state-level polls conducted on charter schools over the past nine years, this issue brief finds support for charter schools grows as citizens become more familiar with them. A consistent finding across the polls showed a persistently large, yet decreasing, percentage of the public was uninformed about charter schools, or had misconceptions. However, when they were provided a simple definition of charter schools, the polls found significant increase in charter school support.
