Bruce Guadalupe Community School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has evolved from a parochial school to private non-sectarian school to a choice school, and finally to a charter school. A K4-8th grade school with a largely low-income Latino student population, it has succeeded with consistently rising student test scores, outstanding parent participation, and strong staff retention. New charter school developers will find this book especially helpful as it details the process and challenges of starting a charter school.
