Abstract | Most analysis of, and debate about, public charter schools focuses on student performance on standardized reading and math tests. These are important indicators of school quality; but school safety is also a crucial consideration. Unfortunately, whereas standardized test score data are universally available, reliable data on school safety are scarce. New York City, however, administers a school-climate survey to students and teachers every year that includes several questions about safety. Using responses to these questions for the 2016-17 school year, this paper provides a comparative descriptive analysis of New York City student and teacher perceptions of safety at 150 charter schools and their neighboring traditional ("district") public schools. Key findings of the report are: (1) Overall: 64 of 150 charter schools provide a safer climate than their neighboring traditional public schools, 24 charters are less safe, and 62 charters are roughly as safe; (2) Elementary schools: 24 charters are safer than their neighboring traditional public schools, 12 are less safe, and 20 are roughly as safe; (3) Middle schools: 26 are safer than their neighboring traditional public schools, 3 are less safe, and 25 are roughly as safe; (4) High schools: 14 are safer than their neighboring traditional public schools, 9 are less safe, and 17 are roughly as safe; and (5) After demographic differences between students are accounted for, the charter school safety advantage remains statistically significant.
