Charter school enrollment continues to climb. Yet, there are still a lot of questions and misunderstandings surrounding the differences between charters, private, and traditional schools.
The differences between charter schools, private schools, and traditional public schools are really quite simple. Charter Schools are public schools granted a “charter” by a state or university to specialize in a particular area of focus (i.e., academics / college prep., athletics / dance, military prep., musical / theater arts, etc.). Charter Schools still have to follow all state laws and rules pertaining to traditional public schools and are funded by the state and federal government (charter schools are free). Private schools do not have to follow any state or federal laws and rules.
Thinking about placing a student in a charter school or private school? Biznis Resource can help!
A few additional distinctions between charter schools and traditional public schools are:
Charter Schools typically limit class size to 25 or fewer students.
Charter School Principals or Directors usually function as the “superintendent” by interacting directly with the school’s Board of Directors.
Charter School Boards operate similarly to traditional school boards, only they typically focus on 1 school.
Charter School Boards and administrators are accountable to State School Boards and State Superintendents.
