LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Six companies responsible for teaching 17,000 Michigan's charter school students fail to produce test scores that match even low-scoring traditional public schools, records show.
The companies manage about $123.7 million in tax money each year.
The low- performing companies include three of the biggest for- profit charter school managers in the state, The Detroit News said Sunday.
They are Mosaica Foundation, The Leona Group and Charter School Administration Services. Together, they manage schools with more than a quarter of the 63,000 students in charter schools in the state.
The other three are Alpha-Omega Education Management, Black Star Education Management and CAN Associates, which have one school each.
The students at these schools often fall far below minimum standards in reading, writing and math, state education records show. The companies' schools also spend a smaller share of their budgets in the classroom than others.
