The Truth about Texas Public Charter Schools |
|
|
|
Aristoi Classical Academy is a K -12, tuition-free, public charter school.
"In 1995, the Texas Legislature—with bipartisan support—created the framework for a new kind of public school: the public charter school. Public charters receive extra freedom and flexibility so they can innovate in ways that serve the exact needs of local families. In exchange, charter schools are held to even higher standards than ISDs for academic performance, financial management, and transparency. The success of public charters in Texas has fueled a politicized debate that takes the focus off students."
