What is a Charter School?
Charter schools are tuition free public schools that operate independently of a specific school district. Charter schools have the freedom and exibility to structure their programs in creative ways to boost student academic performance. In exchange for these freedoms, charter schools have a greater degree of accountability to the public to show strong academic results. Many charter schools have unique school programs, uniforms, and an extended school year.O
