Foreword
Introduction / School Performance Dashboard
A Report from the
University of Southern California
Charter schools across the United States are proliferating and expanding at a record pace,
especially in California. After two decades of offering school choice to families, the charter
school movement in California has spurred the creation of 1,065 of the nation’s 6,000 charter
schools. The growth, moreover, has been explosive: Nationwide, one in five of the new
public charter schools that opened last year was based in California. Statewide, the number
of charter schools has doubled every five years.
California has long been a particularly friendly state for charter schools. In 1992, the year
after Minnesota became the first state in the nation to pass a law allowing for their creation,
California became the second. (In November 2012, Washington became the 42nd state to
legalize charter schools.)
Last fall, charter school enrollment jumped by 275,000 students nationwide – the largest
one-year increase since the movement’s inception. California charter schools now serve
more than 484,000 students. The number of charter schools nationwide rose by 381. California led the nation in one-year growth, increasing its school count by 81 and its number of
students by a whopping 17 percent. Los Angeles led the state, adding 33 charter schools.
The USC School Performance Dashboard, now in its seventh year, draws on California
school data from 2003-2012 to rate charter schools on academic and financial measures of
performance. It also provides an accompanying interactive site at www.uscrossier.org/ceg/
Unlike other school databases, ours assigns values – high, medium, low – to the measures
and goes beyond state test scores. Dashboard users like to know which schools are doing
well, which are in the middle, and which struggle.
Schools use the USC School Performance Dashboard to track their own performance over
time and to compare themselves to other schools. Schools also submit our ratings in their
renewal packages. A Bay Area charter school reported they used the data when describing their school to college admission officers: “Our school profile gives us bragging rights.”
Schools in the Top 10 use their position to help convince funders to invest in their schools.
Teachers use the Dashboard as an employment directory – where might they like to work?
Parents search it for charter schools in their community – what school is worthy of their
child? The Dashboard’s financial ratings warn charter authorizers to put out fires before
they blaze. Finally, the many foundations that support California charter schools use the
Dashboard to judge the return on their investment.
What’s New
The Dashboard Team keeps up with new trends in education and schooling that may offer
ideas for refining the indicators. The District of Columbia and 45 states, including California,
have adopted the Common Core State Standards to better prepare students for college and
careers. We’ve also observed increasing numbers of charter schools serving high school
students – either by adding grades or by opening stand-alone charter high schools.
These developments led the Dashboard Team to develop three new high school-specific
performance indices: curriculum rigor, high school graduation rate, and college-readiness.*
We also now have two Top 10 lists – one for charter elementary/middle schools
and the second for charter high schools.
*Harold Urman, Ph.D. of VitalResearch compiled the high school data under the direction of
Professor Dennis Hocevar, Ph.D., Rossier School of Education, University of Southern California.
USC / School Performance Dashboard / 2
One of the unique features of the Dashboard from its inception has been its financial data,
despite struggles to obtain complete sets of financial data from the California Department
of Education. But no more: eureka! With the help of the California Charter Schools Association, we categorized California charter schools into two types: autonomous charter schools
that have total budgetary control, including over personnel costs, and non-autonomous
charter schools, which operate under the districts’ collective bargaining agreements. Only
financial data for the autonomous schools are reported and we will continue this practice
in the future.
Feedback from our funders also led to improvements in this year’s report and the interactive site (www.uscrossier.org/ceg/). We added Google Analytics to register downloads of
the report and to track users to the interactive site, including the duration of their visits and
who they are by role.
Highlights
Over the years, the Dashboard has repeatedly shown that the primary differences between
charter and non-charter school performance are at the extremes. Charter schools tend
to have a disproportionate number of schools at the top and bottom of the performance
spectrum compared to non-charters. This year’s findings continue to show significant differences at the extremes across many indices, along with dramatic shifts in charter school
financing. Below are some highlights:
Reserves Ratios: Reserves ratios had been generally improving until this past year when
there was a sharp increase in the proportion of charter schools in the lowest range (28
percent), implying that many charter schools were digging into reserves as a means of confronting public funding challenges. Charters saw an increase of 18 percent in the proportion
of schools in the lower ratio ranges. There was a decline in all the higher ratio ranges with
the largest decline from the 0.25 to 0.5 range where charters saw a drop of 17 percent. The
data suggest that the trend of improving financial health among California charter schools
came to a halt this last year.
Curriculum Rigor: With regard to curriculum rigor, charter schools reflect a pattern in
evidence with a number of other Dashboard measures — overrepresentation at the extremes. The proportion of charter high schools in the highest category is 42 percent versus
20 percent for non-charter high schools, suggesting that charter schools offer more higher
level math and science courses than non-charter schools. At the same time, 29 percent of
charter schools were represented in the lowest category, compared to 20 percent for noncharter public schools. In comparison to non-charter high schools, charter high schools
are disproportionately represented among those that offer both the most higher level math
and science courses AND those high schools that offer the fewest higher level math and
science courses.
High School Graduation Rate: On average, charter schools experience lower graduation
rates compared to all non-charter public schools. Charters are underrepresented in the top
four graduation rate ranges and, as a result, are quite over represented in the range with
the lowest graduation rate. These results may reflect the fact that charter schools are over
represented in high poverty urban neighborhoods which typically experience lower graduation rates.

Introduction / Top 10 Performers
This year, we are honoring two groups of high flyers among California’s charter
schools, a Top 10 list for elementary and middle schools and a separate Top 10 list for
high schools. This separation reflects the addition of high school-specific indicators in
this year’s report.
As in previous years, rankings were based on the highest combined ratings on the
academic measures, financial measures, and school productivity indicators. Eligible
candidates were limited to autonomous charter schools, defined as those that are
funded directly through the state and in complete control of their budget. Additionally,
charter schools with enrollments of over 100 students that reported data for each of
the measures were included. For the high school group, new measures included the
Curriculum Rigor, High School Graduation Rate, and College-Readiness indicators.

Introduction / Top 10 Performers
Notable notes:
>
This year’s list includes several “repeat performers”. These are Preuss School UCSD (#1 in 2012), Leadership Public Schools - Hayward (#2 in 2012), KIPP Summit Academy (#6 in 2012), Gertz-Ressler, KIPP Heartwood and University High (all tied for #7 in 2012), and Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) (#8 in 2011).
> Although the winners are somewhat geographically dispersed, 12 of the 20 are located in Los Angeles County.
>
Of the charter elementary and/or middle schools, five of the Top 10 were middle schools, serving either 5th grade through 8th grade or, in one case, 4th grade through 8th grade. There were three schools that served K-5 and two served K-8. Among the high schools, two served 6th through 12th grade and the rest served 9th through 12th grade.
>
As in previous years, the top schools varied in size. Not too surprising, the high schools were on average larger than the elementary schools, which had an aver
age enrollment of 384 students compared to the high school average of 621 students. Although the high schools varied widely, six served between 300 and 500 students. Global Education Academy was the smallest of the Top 10 winners, with an enrollment of 240, while the largest, OCSA, served 1753 students.
>
Fewer of this year’s winners are part of a charter network (CMO, EMO or other type of network), with only 45 percent of this year’s two groups falling under that
designation compared to last year’s 70 percent. KIPP stands out this year, with four schools in the Top 10 elementary/middle list.
>
All of the Top 10 elementary/middle schools serve a population in which 69 percent or more of the students qualify for Free or Reduced Price Meals, with four serving above 90 percent. In the high schools, the numbers served varied more widely,
from 6 percent to 100 percent; the high school average was 60 percent, with six schools serving more than 50 percent who qualified for Free or Reduced Price Meals.
>
The percentage of students classified as English Learners ranged from 3 percent to 44 percent among the elementary/middle schools, with nine schools serving more than 10 percent EL students. Among the high schools, the numbers were also dispersed, ranging from 0 percent to 15 percent and only three schools served more than 10 percent EL students.
> Again this year, the schools vary in age but about half (six out of the ten elementary and middle schools and five out of the ten high schools) were established fewer than ten years ago, with the oldest (Preuss) opening in 1999.
> Eight out of the ten schools in each group served a predominantly Hispanic
population.

Snapshot Highlights / California Charter and
Non-Charter Public Schools Compared, 2011 to 2012
School Size
California’s charter schools average a smaller enrollment (431) than that of non-charter public schools (645).
Charter school enrollment has increased from last year’s average of 416.
Students/Computer Ratio
Non-charter public schools have a higher student/computer ratio – 15.5 students per computer – than do charter
schools (10.3). Last year, charter schools had 10.6 students per computer.
Staff Ethnicity
Compared to non-charter public schools, charter schools have a higher percentage of staff members who identify
themselves as white (65 percent of charter school staff, 60.8 percent of non-charter school staff). This is a shift
from last year, when non-charter schools reported a higher percentage of white staff. Charter schools and noncharter schools have a similar percentage of staff members who identify themselves as African-American (3.8
percent of charter school staff, 4 percent of non-charter staff) and as Hispanic (16.4 percent of charter staff, 16.5
percent of non-charter staff).
Free or Reduced Price Meals
Charter schools enroll fewer students from low-income families and the gap between non-charter schools and
charter schools grew by 1.7 percent. The percentage of students who are eligible for free or reduced price meals
at non-charter public schools is 59.2 percent compared to 54.3 percent at charter schools. The percentage of lowincome students in both types of public school has increased since last year.
English Learner
On average, charter schools have lower percentages of English learners (15 percent) than non-charter public
schools (22.9 percent). The percentages have increased for both charter and non-charter public schools.
Student Ethnicity
The overall ethnic composition of charter schools is similar to that of non-charter public schools, but there are
some key differences. Charter schools’ enrollment of African-American students (10 percent) is notably higher
than that of non-charter public schools (6.5 percent), and with white students as well (32.8 percent versus 26.1,
respectively). Non-charter public schools have a higher proportion of Asian students (8.6 percent compared to 4.7
percent) and Hispanic students (52.0 percent, compared to 45.2 percent in charter schools). These numbers are
similar to last year.
Parent Education
Parents of charter school students have received more formal education than parents of non-charter public school
students. While 59.3 percent of students at charter schools have parents who have received some post-secondary
education (attended college, graduated from college, or received graduate education), only 52.5 percent of
students at non-charter public schools have parents who have attended school beyond high school. Meanwhile,
parents of students at non-charter public schools are more likely not to have finished high school (21 percent compared to 17.4 percent). These numbers are similar to last year.

Rankings for all schools were broken into quintiles
(equal intervals of 20 percent). If a category is
greater than 20 percent, there are more charter
schools in that category than non-charters. Less than
20 percent indicates fewer charters in that category
than non-charters.

n = the number of charter schools with the data

The vast majority of California public schools are
non-charter schools, so their data will fall close to the
20 percent intervals. In some cases, the quintiles do
not have exactly 20 percent within each tier due to tied
rankings. However, for simplicity, we have rounded to 20
percent for each interval.

Highlights
DE F I NI T I ON: The Reserves Ratios Index is the ratio of reserve fund balances to total expenditures. This measures
the portion of total expenditures that a school has saved in reserves, and therefore reflects the ability to weather
future costs even if revenue is deficient. The Reserves Ratios Index is reported as a ratio instead of a ranking, and
is not compared to non-charter schools.
T RE NDS: Reserves ratios saw the first year of significant decline since we began reporting in 2003-04. The percent
of schools in the lowest range increased drastically (by 28 percent) and the number of schools in the top ranges
decreased. The data suggests that California charter schools faced significantly increased funding challenges in
the 2011-12 school year.

Highlights
DE F I NI T I ON: The Liquidity Ratios Index is the ratio of a school’s assets to its liabilities. This reflects the school’s
ability to pay off its short-term debts, as well as the ability to raise additional capital, either through selling off or
borrowing against its assets. A school with a high liquidity ratio is more financially stable. The Liquidity Ratios Index
is reported as a ratio instead of a ranking, and is not compared to non-charter schools.
T RE NDS: The gradual improvement in charter school liquidity ratios appears to have leveled off. There was generally very little movement at any level this past year. The largest change in ratios happened at the 0 to 1 range (up
approximately 1 percent), accompanied by modest reductions in the most liquid range.

DE F I NI T I ON: The Direct Classroom Investment Index is the ratio of classroom investment to total revenues. Class-
room investments include such expenditures as teacher salaries and benefits, textbooks, technology software, and
curriculum. The Direct Classroom Investment Index is reported as a ratio instead of a ranking, and is not compared
to non-charter schools.
T RE NDS: The 2011-12 school year saw a change in direct classroom investment, with charter schools increasing
the proportion of their budget allocated to resources inside the classroom. There was an increase of almost 10
percent at the highest level. Schools that allocate less than half of their revenues to the classroom declined by almost 15 percent. These changes suggest that schools are spending greater proportions of their funds on classroom
investment, not necessarily that they are spending more money on classroom investment. The change in proportion
can also occur as schools cut back on operating expenditures.

DE F I NI T I ON: The English Learner Reclassification Index ranks schools on the percentage of English Learners (ELs)
who are reclassified to fluent-English-proficient (FEP). Only schools which had at least 15 EL students are included.
T RE NDS: Rates of English Learner Reclassification continues to improve, if only modestly. Charter schools in the low-
est range dropped by 2 percent. Differences between charter and non-charter schools exist mostly at the extremes
with charter schools overrepresented, especially, in the lowest categories.

DE F I NI T I ON: A school’s API Similar Schools Rank is a 1 to 10 scale that compares its API to the APIs of 100 other
schools of the same type that have similar opportunities and challenges.
T RE NDS: The API Similar Schools Ranking of charter schools saw little overall performance change this year,
notwithstanding an increase in the proportion of charter schools in the highest range and a slight decrease in the
lowest range. Compared with non-charter public schools, charter schools continue to be disproportionately overrepresented at the extremes of performance but charter school performance is becoming increasingly similar to
non-charter public schools.

DE F I NI T I ON: The Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Index ranks schools on several components of AYP: whether
they met AYP goals in math and English/language arts and the percentage of their students who were rated proficient or above in these areas.
T RE NDS: Adequate Yearly Progress in charter schools is largely unchanged. Charters saw a small decrease in the
proportion of schools in the lowest group in 2011-12. At the same time, the top three categories saw a net decline
equal to about 1.5 percent. The second to lowest group (3-4) saw the greatest change with an increase of over 2
percent. As with the API Similar Schools Rank, non-charter schools have a more uniform distribution than charters,
which have higher proportions of schools at either end of the performance spectrum and the distribution of charter
schools is becoming more similar to the distribution of non-charter public schools, suggesting that over time
non-charter public schools and charter schools are becoming more similar.

DE F I NI T I ON: The Academic Momentum Index measures changes in a school’s student achievement over time,
reflecting whether a school is improving, declining or consistent. It combines three measures of academic progress: annual change in the percentage of students proficient in math; annual change in the percentage of students
proficient in English/language arts; and annual API growth.
T RE NDS: Academic momentum in charter schools has slowed since last year. The proportion of charter schools
in the lowest range increased by 4 percent, and, despite a slight increase in the highest range, the proportion of
charter schools in the top three ranges of academic momentum decreased by 7 percent. Compared to non-charter
public schools, charter schools have a larger proportion of schools with the highest levels of academic
momentum (26 percent versus 20 percent), and at the same time, a higher proportion of schools with the lowest
level of academic momentum (22 percent versus 20 percent).

DE F I NI T I ON: The English/Language Arts Productivity Index ranks schools on their student performance on
standardized tests of English/Language Arts compared to schools within the same district and districts with similar
per-pupil spending.
T RE NDS: Charter schools on average are continuing to gradually improve English/Language Arts productivity. The
proportion of charter schools represented in the highest two ranges increased from 47 percent to 50 percent with
corresponding declines across the bottom three ranges. Generally, charter schools on average outperform noncharter public schools in English/Language Arts productivity. Charter schools have a larger proportion of schools
performing in higher ranges than compared to non-charters, and also a lower proportion of schools represented in
the lowest range (18 percent vs. 20 percent).

DE F I NI T I ON: The Math Productivity Index ranks schools based upon math standardized test performance, compar-
ing charter schools to non-charter schools within the same district and districts with similar per-pupil spending.
T RE NDS: Math productivity is improving. The proportion of charter schools in the highest range increased (19
percent to 23 percent), while at the same time decreasing in the lowest range (from 33 percent to 31 percent). This
year’s changes reflect the continuation of a longer, modest trend toward increased math productivity in charter
schools. Despite this progress, charter schools continue to be overrepresented at both extremes of math productivity when compared to non-charter public schools. Increased representation at the highest range (23 percent vs.
20 percent) is more than offset by increased representation at the lowest range (31 percent vs. 20 percent).

graduated from high school in 2012 or earlier, in schools that offer grades 9 through 12 (students are tracked across
the four years).
T RE NDS: On average, charter schools experience lower graduation rates compared to all non-charter public
schools. Charters are underrepresented in all of the top four ranges and, as a result, are heavily overrepresented
in the range representing lowest graduation rates. These results may reflect the fact that charter schools are overrepresented in high poverty urban neighborhoods which typically experience lower graduation rates.

Charter schools included in this report were identified as ‘Active’ for the 2011-2012 school year by the CDE
Charter School Division. Of those, only charter schools with data are included in this section.
Both district and CDE data were used in these calculations. For additional information on rankings and sources
used, see Appendices B and C.
Because of the state’s decision to discontinue data collection for CBEDS, the school rankings with regard to
Teaching Resources and Teacher Qualifications could not be calculated. Therefore, the columns in the report on
individual schools for these two rankings have been deleted from this year’s report.

Appendix A / Definitions of Indicators
The following section describes the measures we used to assess the performance of charter schools
in California. It explains what data we used and how we calculated values for each of the 12 indices.
Financial Resources and Investment Measures
Reserves Ratios Index
The Reserves Ratios Index is the ratio of reserve fund balances to total expenditures. This measure of
charter school financial stability counts available funds to cover unexpected costs or to compensate if
future revenues are less than expected.
Liquidity Ratios Index
The Liquidity Ratios Index, which measures assets to liabilities, is a measure of a charter school’s
financial health. It indicates a school’s ability to meet its liabilities as covered by its assets. A school
with a high liquidity ratio is better able to raise additional capital, either through selling off or borrowing
against its assets.
Direct Classroom Investment Index
The Direct Classroom Investment Index is the ratio of classroom investment to total revenues. Classroom investments include such expenditures as teacher salaries and benefits, textbooks, educational
software and curriculum.
School Performance Measures
English Learner Reclassification Index
The English Learner Reclassification Index represents the frequency with which a school transitions
students from English Learner (EL) to fluent-English-proficient (FEP).
API Similar Schools Rank
A school’s API Similar Schools Rank compares its API to the APIs of 100 other schools of the same type
that have similar opportunities and challenges.
Adequate Yearly Progress Index
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Index rankings include whether schools met AYP goals in math and
English/language arts and the percentage of students rated as proficient or above in these subject
areas.
Academic Momentum Index
The Academic Momentum Index combines three measures of academic progress: annual change in
the percentage of students proficient in math; annual change in the percentage of students proficient in
English/language arts; and annual API growth. It measures changes in a school’s student achievement
over time.
USC / School Performance Dashboard / 56
Appendix A / Definitions of Indicators
Academic Productivity Measures
English/Language Arts Productivity Index
The English/Language Arts Productivity Index measures academic achievement on standardized tests
of English/language arts as compared to non-charter schools within the same district and districts with
similar per-pupil spending.
Math Productivity Index
The Math Productivity Index measures how well a charter school performs on math standardized tests
compared to non-charter schools within the same district and districts with similar per-pupil spending.
High School Performance Measures
Curriculum Rigor Index
The Curriculum Rigor Index ranks schools on the extent to which students in the school take higherlevel math and science courses, in schools that offer grades 10 and 11.
High School Graduation Rate
High School Graduation Rate measures the percentage of ninth graders in 2009 who successfully
graduated from high school in 2012 or earlier, in schools that offer grades 9 through 12 (students are
tracked across the four years).
College-Readiness Rate
The College-Readiness Rate is the proportion of students who score basic or above on state tests in
English Language Arts (11th grade), and higher-level math and science courses, in schools that offer
grades 10 and 11.
Snapshot
The Snapshot compares California charter and non-charter public schools across a variety of
metrics, including school size, the number of computers available per student, the student-teacher
ratio, percentage of English learners and Free or Reduced Price Meal recipients, average parental
educational attainment, and both student and staff ethnicity.

Growth Academic Performance Index (API)
USC / School Performance Dashboard / 62
Appendix C / Primary Data Sources
Academic Performance Index (API)
The API measures the academic performance and growth of public schools in California based on a
variety of tests and establishes a statewide ranking of schools according to those scores. Most schools
have an API, an overall state ranking, a ranking in comparison to 100 similar schools, and growth targets for the following year.
Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/
Accountability Progress Report (APR)
The APR provides information on state API results, federal AYP results and federal program improvement information.
Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ar/index.asp
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
A goal of the 2001 federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is to require schools and districts to measure
and report students’ annual progress toward proficiency in English/language arts and mathematics.
Progress is based on whether the school or district has met its Annual Measurable Objectives, demonstrated 95 percent participation on standardized tests, achieved its target on the API and, for high
schools, met target graduation rates.
Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/
Charter School Alternative Form Data
California Education Code began requiring charter school financial reporting during fiscal year 20032004. Charter schools can choose to use the Charter School Alternative Form. Charter schools that do
not report in the Standardized Account Code Structure format must use the Alternative Form.
Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/sf/fr/csalternative.asp
DataQuest
DataQuest is a database developed and maintained by the Department of Education that provides
reports about California’s schools and school districts. It contains a variety of information, including
school performance indicators; student and staff demographics; expulsion, suspension, and truancy
data; and a variety of test results.
Further information can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sd/cb/dataquest.asp
School Accountability Report Card (SARC)
California state law requires all public schools receiving state funding to prepare a SARC. The SARC
is intended to provide the public with important information about individual public schools, including school mission and progress towards goals; academic and demographic data; school safety and
climate for learning; teacher and staff information; and fiscal and expenditure data.

Standardized Account Code Structure (SACS)
The SACS is a uniform and comprehensive chart of accounts for classifying the financial activities of
California local school districts and county offices of education. Phase-in began in 1997-1998; by 20032004, all local educational agencies (LEAs) reported in SACS.

Credits / About the Center on Educational Governance
The Center on Educational Governance (CEG), located at the University of Southern California,
focuses on the linkages between policy, governance, and the improvement of urban schools and
the systems within which they operate. Founded by Priscilla Wohlstetter, CEG researchers use an
interdisciplinary approach to study current policy solutions to the educational issues posed by diverse urban communities– locally, nationally and globally. The main activities of the center are: (1)
engaging in rigorous quantitative and qualitative research studies of policy problems; (2) building
a knowledge base to provide researchers, educators, parents and policymakers with new tools
and strategies for improvement; and (3) working in partnership with educators and policymakers
to use research to improve policy and practice.
In addition to the USC School Performance Dashboard, the Center on Educational Governance
has developed and produced other products and services for the field -- stakeholder satisfaction
surveys for parents, students and staff; “how-to” guidebooks on charter school partnerships,
family engagement, and the scale-up of charter management organizations. More broadly, CEG
engages in research examining the quality, accountability and sustainability of public schools. Focus areas include school and district governance, public-private partnerships, assessment policy,
leadership/entrepreneurship, teacher labor markets and teacher policy, improving the quality of
school systems, increasing accountability, and scaling-up innovations between traditional public
and charter schools. CEG’s most recent book is Choices & Challenges: Charter School Performance in Perspective, authored by Priscilla Wohlstetter, Joanna Smith and Caitlin Farrell (Harvard
Education Press, 2013).
