Frequently Asked Questions

What is a charter school?
Charter schools are public schools that operate independently of the traditional public school system with its own school board. They are established by a charter, which is a performance contract detailing the school’s mission, program, students served, and methods of assessment. Charter schools have greater flexibility in their operations compared to district schools but are held more accountable for achieving specific educational outcomes.
