Currently 29 charter schools serve over 5,000 students in Utah. This evaluation conducted for the state's Charter Board finds that elementary charter students (in grades 3, 5, and 7) scored better than traditional school students on the Science, Math, and Language Arts portions of the state's assessments. In grade 10, however, traditional school students exhibited higher scores.
