The Center for Education Reform has released its annual ranking and scorecard of the nation’s 41 charter school laws. Based on dozens of criteria, 21 states made an "A" or "B." The scores of several state laws dropped, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Texas, due to lack of initiatives designed to ensure equity, freedom and growth. The report discusses states with failing laws and the nine states that have no charter school legislation. The document is available for $39.95. Companion reports, "Charter School Closures: The Opportunity for Accountability" and the "Annual Survey of Amerca's Charter Schools" are also available for a fee.
