>> while only accepting well performing non-SPED students,

Thats not necessarily true, many (certainly here in MA) charter schools use a blind lottery for admissions.



Blind lotteries exist because it has been true, and most states still don't mandate blind lotteries. That's like using anti-discrimination laws as an argument for discrimination not existing.

Blind lotteries were started to combat this prevalent issue (and still fail to address poorly performing/SPED kids dropping out of charters and back into public education at a disproportionate rate, which undermines their goal).
