Abstract: Studies of charter closure rates typically focus on year-to-year closures. While important for researchers, such studies provide little guidance to families seeking to understand the risk of enrolling their child in a charter school. That is because studies determining how many schools close each year provide no information on how long the school served students. Although every school's fate cannot be predicted, there are trends. This report summarizes what was learned while highlighting cases that illustrate the effects of school closures on the families and communities they serve. It also show that school closures are more voluntary than forced, with 40 percent of closures giving parents little, if any, advance warning. More often than not, it found patterns of decreasing enrollment or other warning signs that school officials ignored or failed to share with the families they served.
