Yet, after thirteen years of existence, very little is known about these school leaders in New York State. This study reported on the profile of the charter school principal in New York including their background, experiences, education, degree held, certification, gender, age and race/ethnicity. Participants consisted of 70 charter school principals working in the 2010-2011 school year throughout the state, including New York City. The quantitative study centered on descriptive statistics to create and compare the profile of the New York State charter school principal with existing data on New York State public school principals and with charter school leaders in other states. Pearson's correlation was also used to determine the strength of the relationship between the charter school leader's training and experience and their confidence of specific demands of the job.

Findings revealed similarities and differences between New York's charter school leaders and public school leaders as well as with charter school principals in other states.
