This paper discusses how charter schools in the United
States have attracted considerable interest for students and families as
alternatives to other public schools, as well as from policymakers. As charter
school laws are enacted state-by-state, the climate for charter schools,
including cyber charters grows more favorable. As of 2008, over 4500 charter
schools have opened in the United States, and approximately 180 of them are
cyber charter schools located in 25 states, according to the Center for Education
Reform (2009). The increase in cyber charter schools since the first one opened
in 1994 has been steady and dramatic. Interest in cyber charter schools has far
outpaced research into their academic effectiveness. After a review of the
research, this article proposes a research agenda for deeper understanding of
student performance in cyber charter schools.
