Abstract
“No Excuses” charter schools for increasing math and literacy achievement in primary and secondary education: a systematic review
Highlights
In response to the school accountability movement and the move toward market-oriented education policies in recent decades, many schools and districts have felt increased pressure to find effective ways to boost student achievement
A large number of the included studies examine the effects of the schools of a specific charter management organization: Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP)
Due to the autonomy afforded to the management of charter schools, educators have the freedom to implement the tenets of the No Excuses model without the restrictions placed on non-charter public schools
Summary
In response to the school accountability movement and the move toward market-oriented education policies in recent decades, many schools and districts have felt increased pressure to find effective ways to boost student achievement. Many districts—largely those serving lowincome black and hispanic students in urban settings—have still struggled to make sufficient academic gains (Barton & Coley, 2010; Jacob & Ludwig, 2008; Yeh, 2016). The prevalence of this achievement gap is one of the most critical current issues in U.S education and contributes significantly to racial and economic inequality (Duncan & Magnuson, 2013). Academic achievement gaps are both the causes and the consequences of the disparity of resources
