CRPE’s research examines both the promise and the challenges of charter schools and school choice, with a focus on how they can expand opportunity, drive innovation, and better serve diverse student needs. We study charter schools alongside district schools and other models, highlighting lessons that can inform the broader system. New data and evidence help innovators across the country collaborate, communicate, and develop best practices.
The time has flown. This year marks CRPE’s 20th anniversary. Tonight we’re celebrating in D.C. with some old friends and colleagues, and we’ll be sharing a compilation of essays about how leading researchers and reformers view our impact so far.
