FACTS ABOUT M.A.C.S.
CARTER SCHOOL FACTS
What are the advantages of a charter school?
Charter schools are innovative public schools that provide an academically rigorous education to students who choose to attend them. The benefits of charter schools, like MACS, are numerous.
Accountable
Charter schools are public schools that operate under an agreement, or charter, between the charter school and the local school board. The charter school operates with the approval and oversight of its board of trustees.
Student Choice
Students and their parents can choose to attend a charter school instead of attending the school they were assigned to within their local school district.
Tuition free
As public schools, charter schools are funded in the same way as your district-run public school, largely through tax dollars. As such, charter schools do not charge students tuition.
Results driven
Charter schools have the flexibility, authority and responsibility to provide an innovative, results-based education.
