To assess whether elementary grade students in charter schools leave their schools any more frequently than students in traditional public schools, IBO examined a cohort of students who entered kindergarten in September 2008 and followed them through third grade. This involved tracking data on 3,043 students in 53 charter schools and 7,208 students in 116 traditional public schools nearest to each charter.
