Connecticut charter school cleans up state rankings

Here’s a middle school in Hartford, Connecticut that is a charter public school.

The school’s enrollment is 100 percent low income and 100 percent African-American or Hispanic.

It ranks:

#2 for Performance Gains
#2 for African-American Student Scores
#4 for Low Income Student Scores
#5 for Overall Middle School Improvement



Hartford kids can get access to outstanding schools like Jumoke Academy because Connecticut has a public charter school law. Kentucky’s kids are completely left out because our state lacks the legislation to allow charter schools here.
