Charter schools work

This story on a new school-within-a-school at LA's notoriously bad Jefferson High School is interesting not just because the students in the smaller school are doing so much better. It's interesting because it shows that LA Unified is focused on competing with private and especially charter schools that are taking enrollment away from the district's traditional campuses. And that kind of competition is exactly what charter schools were designed to create.
