A study released in June of 2013 by the National Charter School Study, a Stanford University research group, discovered that students of minority ethnicity and poverty level families that attend Phoenix charter schools, as well as other campuses across the U.S., excelled in math, science and other class courses as compared to other ethnic groups. The results of this study is a follow up on the performance comparison of the original study findings conducted in 2009.
Margaret Raymond, Director of the Stanford Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) at Stanford University, said the reason for the upsurge in the improvement of the students was in part due to the closing of other school campuses that were not up to grade "A" schools education performance standards. The results were based on the study that was conducted in 26 states including Colorado, Texas, Illinois and Arizona.
