In August 2010, USA Today’s Greg Toppo wrote that Gulen movement-associated charter schools “educate as many as 35,000 students — taken together they'd make up the largest charter school network in the USA — and have imported thousands of Turkish educators over the past decade.”
At long last, the actual enrollment for the 2010-2011 school year has been tallied. The total is 44,727, nearly 10,000 students greater than the figure suggested by USA Today.
It is important to note that eleven new charter schools were added to the Gulen movement’s U.S. network at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year. However, two of their schools were closed in the summer of 2011, one because of extremely low enrollment (Magnolia Science Academy San Diego 2 in California) and the other for a host of extremely serious problems (Abramson Science and Technology Charter School in Louisiana).
The following enrollment figures were obtained from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.
