The new MCAS growth model analysis shows that charter public schools are producing very strong academic gains for their students statewide (see the data at the Boston Globe online):
* In Grade 6, charters represented 9 of the top 10 growth districts in math and 6 of the top 10 districts in English;
* In Grade 8, charters represented 7 of the top 10 growth districts in math and 4 of the top 10 districts in English;
* In Grade 10, charters represented 5 of the top 10 growth districts in both math and English.
