CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

Charter College graduates earn $X” — not “Charter College makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Charter College caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
