What is a charter school?

Charter schools are public institutions open to any child who is a resident of Massachusetts – no admission hurdles or fees, no entrance exams and no preferential treatment. If more children want to enroll in a community’s charter school than it has space for, a lottery determines admission.

Charter public schools must follow the same educational standards for both teachers and students, administer the same standardized tests, employ the state’s common core curriculum, and abide by all the same laws and regulations as public schools. The difference lies in the management flexibility charter schools are given. For example, charter schools can lengthen their school day and year to provide more time in the classroom, and establish their own educational culture.
