Charter Schools

Charter Schools are public schools that have more freedom to try new teaching methods or focus on specific subjects, like science or the arts. They’re still free to attend and funded by taxpayers, but they operate independently of some traditional school rules. In exchange, they must meet certain performance goals. In short, they’re public schools with extra flexibility to innovate and meet students’ needs.
