The National Charter School Research Project (NCSRP) Charter School Database offers a rich dataset on charter and public schools in the 40 states and D.C. that allow charter schools. Researchers surveyed state charter school offices on a number of indicators concerning the growth and status of charter schools, including the number of schools and students, demographic information, and school types. The survey was originally conducted for NCSRP's annual report on charter schools, "Hopes, Fears, and Reality: A Balanced Look at Charter Schools in 2004-05." Users can generate state reports and indicator reports, as well as download the complete dataset into an Excel file.
