But choice is only meaningful when more than one school is willing and able to successfully educate a child.  \nWhile identifying disabilities is complex for all schools, and the overidentification of students with disabilities introduces its own concerns,1 identification and enrollment are the first steps in ensuring students receive the support they need to reach their full potential. The data in this brief cannot answer the question of whether all families of students with disabilities have meaningful public school choices, but it does shed important light on issues of access and enrollment across charter schools and traditional public schools. The brief provides concrete data on differences across the two sectors.  \nThe “enrollment gap” —the difference between the percentage of students in charter schools identified as students with disabilities and the percentage of students in traditional public schools identified as students with disabilities—can provide one important measure of whether and how charter schools are serving all students.  \nIn 2021, charters enrolled 418,260 identified students with disabilities, an increase of 87,444 compared with data from 2018. Still, traditional public schools continue to serve a greater proportion of students with disabilities than charter schools: 14.1% of students in traditional public schools are eligible to receive services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) compared with 11.5% of students in charter schools.  \nIn this first of six briefs analyzing the latest available data from the U.S. Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), covering the 2020–21 school year, we explore enrollment of students with disabilities by school sector, state, grade level, and charter legal status—that is, operating as a local education agency (LEA) or as part of an LEA. The goal is to understand the major trends affecting students with disabilities.  \n1 National Center for Learning Disabilities. (2023) .

We accomplish this through research, advocacy, coalition formation, and capacity building with national, state, and local partners.  \nThe Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), maintained and released biennially by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) since 1968, publishes data on leading indicators related to access and barriers to education opportunities from early childhood through grade 12. With each biennial release, CLE analyzes similarities and differences in student populations and student experiences in public charter schools and traditional public schools for students with disabilities. Understanding these national-level data supports success for students with disabilities without regard to educational setting and placement.  \nThe findings shared in this brief are based on data reported in the 2020-2021 CRDC, collected from 97,575 schools.
