Spread the Word!
Charter schools are an important part of the American education landscape serving 3.7 million students—two-thirds of whom are from low-income, Black or Latino communities.
206,000 dedicated teachers working in 7,700 schools and campuses across the country.
Charter schools are student-centered and can serve the unique needs of each of their communities in ways that traditional public schools cannot.
In exchange for local autonomy regarding students’ education and wrap-around services, charter schools must meet or exceed the goals laid out in their charter such as student proficiency and community service.
Families choose public charter schools in part because they are often run by community leaders and former teachers who want the autonomy to make decisions to best meet the unique needs of their students and their families.
