Read it and weep.  Or puke.

Can you please link to the specific report and page you are referencing to back up your claims?[/quote]

NP here

There's a lot of hedging in there 
-"It may be that the gains in Detroit itself may be the driving force for the gains in the charters in the state" p.14
-"Therefore, Table 3 below, which presents a translation of various outcomes, should be interpreted cautiously." p.15

Also, there's no discussion of self-selection (i.e., which parents move their kids into charter schools?), which seems to play a big role in DC HRCS.

The study also show that charter schools that employ Charter Management Organizations (i.e., the back door to a for-profit corporation from a non-profit charter) are getting smoked by their non-CMO charters.  How about banning CMOs with charters?

I think the data is actually quite weak in attempting to show causation.
