This snapshot data is flawed, but it's nice to see some positive numbers for New York City's charter schools!

The most recent round of reading tests show students attending charter schools in the city outperforming other public schools on reading tests.

Sixty-one percent of charter school students in the city who took the test met state standards, compared to 51% of students citywide. Charters' performance also seems to be improving at a brisker pace, with the number of students meeting standards rising five points from 56% last year. City schools overall reported a gain of one-tenth of one percentage point.
