The report highlights that Black and Hispanic students, English learners, and those from low-income backgrounds are achieving higher academic outcomes in charter schools compared to traditional public schools.

Washington currently has 18 charter schools with around 5,000 students enrolled, a small fraction of the total public school population of about one million students in the state.
