Did the emergence of Ohio charter schools help or harm students who remained in district schools?

Stéphane Lavertu

For more than twenty-five years, public charter schools have served Ohio families and communities by providing quality educational options beyond the local school district.

In important—and sometimes impassioned—discussions such as these, rigorous research is critical to ground conversations in facts and evidence.

Jessica Poiner

Career-technical education (CTE) has become a significant priority for Ohio leaders and lawmakers over the last several years. For those who aren’t familiar with CTE, or who may have outdated views about what it offers students, this increasing emphasis may be surprising.
