What makes the Phoenix Charter Schools a better choice?

According to recent studies conducted by nationally distinguished institutions, public charter schools are achieving their goal of closing the gaps for low-income children and children of color. In fact, Stanford’s CREDO study reports that both children learning English as a second language and those living in severe poverty are achieving more than they had previously in traditional schools. Consider these great improvements in student achievements:

  • We now know that public charters such as ours actually for minority children living in urban centers throughout America. In fact, in some states, such as Massachusetts, the achievement gap between minority and white students has been closed thanks to the charter public school system.
  • In addition, students perform better in public charter schools than they do in traditional public schools.
  • This is true for both Hispanic and African-American students, alike.
  • Public charter schools are having a positive impact on the drop-out rates and on increasing the rate of students enrolling in post-high school programs.

Phoenix Charter Schools, created by the Arizona State Legislature in 1994, are state-funded public schools. We aim to give parents academic choices for their children. Our goal is to foster an environment that improves student achievement comparable to a private education, but tuition free. So far, the statistics prove that we are hitting our mileposts and achieving our goal. We are making a difference.
