Hmong American Charter Schools: An Exploratory and Descriptive Study

Abstract

In this exploratory and descriptive study, I explored, analyzed, and described data provided by existing seven Hmong American charter schools. I aggregated my findings into these categories: communities and history; mission, vision, and/or core/value/future/belief statements; governance structure; curriculum; calendar; student support services; co-curricular activities; student information; staff information; student achievement; parental resources and involvement; communications; budgets/school finance; student enrollment; transportation; and other notable(s). For each category, I summarized the data explored and described, and for most of the categories, I provided supporting details to add depth.
