FACT: Charter Schools are held more accountable than district schools.

Charter schools are held accountable by their Authorizers for student achievement and upholding the goals outlined in their charters.

Charter schools report student outcomes and financial audits and are subject to a renewal process every 3-5 years. If a charter school fails to meet its obligations to students, it will be closed.

This combination of freedom and accountability for results allows charter schools to be innovative, responsive to student and community needs, and put student learning first.
