Top 3 Texas Charter School Myths

Only bad kids go to charter schools

There is no rule that says only bad kids can go to charter schools, but some poorly run charter schools have given all charter schools a bad name.  Often, when students have trouble in their zoned school, it results in behavior and attendance problems, and they carry these behaviors to any school that they attend.  It is up to the charter school to prevent and correct such behaviors.  Charter schools that do not do that quickly gain a reputation of being a school for "bad kids".
Not all students go to charter schools as a last resort.  Many charter schools boast of excellent curriculum, superb teachers, and proven academic results, thus attracting their community's best and brightest students.  It is best not to judge all schools by a few schools, therefore research and investigation is key.


Charter school students don't have to take TAKS

Charter schools are publicly funded schools and as such are required to abide by all laws and policies of the state.  Texas Education Agency requires that state tests, or Texas Assessment of Knowledge of Skills, be administered to students in certain grade levels.  These students must pass these tests for grade promotion and graduation.

A charter school diploma is not the same as a regular diploma

Students in charter schools have to fulfill the same state graduation requirements as other public high school students in the state of Texas.  A diploma awarded by a charter school offers all the same rights and priviledges as other public school diplomas.
