101 Top School and Charter Networks

School networks are one of the most important innovations in the modern era of U.S. K-12 education. They have boosted achievement and graduation rates and expanded quality options in the communities that need them the most. They’re so important that we recently released a new book on the subject called Better Together: How to Leverage School Networks For Smarter Personalized and Project Based Learning.
