Yes, all charter schools are not created equal. In some towns its a better option for people whose school districts are not that good.

Thanks khatti!

I think my niece in Seattle attends a charter school. In her case though, although it is a very small and exclusive school, I gotta say, I wasn’t impressed with the academics at all. She’s 10 and had little to no knowledge of the geography of the US let alone the world, amongst other things. It seemed to be a very relaxed curriculum. My SIL is also required to volunteer at least 30 hours a week, I believe, as are the other parents as a condition of her daughters enrollment.
