A 2015 report by the liberal watchdog group The Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) concluded that approximately 2,500 charter schools shut down across the US between 2001 and 2013, affecting 288,000 students, and noted that "the failure rate for charter schools is much higher than for traditional public schools." As well, the report points out that school closures leave a lasting impact on students' success rates and can contribute to higher rates of youth incarceration.
