Education Choices: Charter Schools
Just like public, private or boarding schools, charter schools are also a growing option in the central Texas community. There are five charter school types in Texas: PreK/Elementary, Residential Treatment Center/Juvenile Detention Center, Specialized Mission, Dropout Recovery, and College Preparatory.
According to the National Alliance For Public Charter Schools:
• Charter schools are closing the achievement gap. They are raising the bar of what’s possible – and what should be expected – in public education.
• Charter schools are shattering low expectations and breaking through long-standing barriers that have prevented large numbers of students from underserved communities from achieving educational success.
• Charter schools are always public schools. They never charge tuition, and they are designed to boost student achievement. If a traditional public school is not addressing a student’s needs, charter schools offer parents another public school option. Increasingly, when given that option, parents are choosing to enroll their children in charter schools. In fact, the demand for charter schools is far outpacing the supply in most communities.
Spend some time researching the different types of charter schools, who they serve and if it is a viable option for your child.
