Charter schools' biggest failure is that they do not have the restrictions on religious indoctrination that public schools have. A lot of them are just public-subsidized religious schools, something that can be considered undemocratic, since the principals of American democracy are rooted in secularism.
That being said, if you believe that the American academic paradigm is broken, and you have a lot of money, what are you supposed to do?

We find a couple cities of at least 100K population, with roughly the same demographics, wealth, etc. and test out different policies. Of course, some of the people involved in the debate are already anti-science, so I don't think it will be politically feasible.
