Charter Schools are independent public schools that are free from some rules and regulations that apply to traditional public school districts. In exchange for flexibility, charter school sponsors hold schools accountable for results. Charter schools are non-sectarian, do not discriminate in their admission policies, and may not charge tuition or fees.
Charter schools are open to all. Schools may set a local preference area for enrollment as long as it aligns with state guidelines and does not create racial or socioeconomic isolation. If applicants exceed capacity, admission is determined by a lottery to ensure equal chances for all (§ 160.410, RSMo).
Charter schools are established by teachers, parents, principals, educational experts, and entrepreneurs. The biggest difference is that no student is assigned to a charter school. Families choose to enroll their children in charter schools. (§ 160.410).
