(95,337 posts)Here in Wilmington, they use Charters as specialized schools that are part of the school district. My friend's daughter goes to a charter school but it is part of the school district. It's a school for those with strong artistic schools (Cab Calloway). They also have Charter schools for other specializations including an AP school Wilmington Charter, which is better than most of the private schools in the state (Btw the girl got into that school too). It's nice how it's setup because children who are extremely talented or score high on tests have a chance of attending a public school that rates just as well as the expensive private schools.
But for every decent charter out there, we still have the bad charters which are not affiliated with any school district. Those I have issues with.
