The schools are open to all students and they don't select the students; they are chosen by lottery with 163k on waiting lists. 70% of charter students are minorities. 10% are ELL and 20.% have disabilities. Schools are located in the lowest income areas.
The typical school day is 7:30 to 4 plus after school programs.
With less money they outperform NYC public schools.
On the other hand the regular public schools enrollment is down 15%

Maybe you could pull a Tom-stat out of your ass to show how those schools "outperform" others.
