It would be worthwhile to collate the various methodologies and administrative policies at successful charter schools and at those Catholic schools....and publish the results.

IIRC, common themes are a focus on the basics and strict discipline.

Good discipline and a focus on the basics are important, but I’d also like to see the teaching strategies used and how the administration supports good teaching methodology and interacts with parents.
