What is a Charter School?
A charter school is a publicly funded educational institution that operates with greater flexibility and autonomy compared to traditional public schools. Established through a charter—a performance contract detailing the school's mission, program, goals, and methods of assessment—charter schools are designed to foster innovation and provide diverse educational options to meet the unique needs of their communities.
Key Features of Charter Schools:
- Autonomy: Charter schools have the freedom to design their own curricula, teaching methods, and organizational structures. This flexibility allows them to implement innovative educational practices tailored to their students' needs.
- Accountability: In exchange for their autonomy, charter schools are held accountable for achieving the academic and operational goals outlined in their charter agreements. Regular evaluations ensure that they meet or exceed performance standards.
- Choice: Charter schools offer families more educational choices within the public school system. Parents can select a school that best fits their child's learning style, interests, and aspirations without the constraints of traditional zoning.
- Inclusivity: Like traditional public schools, charter schools are open to all students without tuition fees. They strive to serve diverse populations, promoting equity and access to quality education for every child
