    Take the King’s tests.

    April may be the cruelest month for charter schools that serve home-schooled students.

    That’s because April is when California public school students take the STAR test. STAR stands for Standardized Testing and Reporting. And standardized is exactly what charter schools – and home-schooling families – are not.

    Yet charter schools get public dollars, and so they must test at least 95 percent of their students or risk losing their funding and their accreditation.
