About NYC’s Charter Schools
Charter schools are free, independently run public schools that are able to innovate in their classroom structures, curriculum, and teaching methods. In return, they’re held to higher standards of accountability. More than 90 percent of the City’s charter school students are Black or Latino, and over 80 percent are from low-income families. There are 268 public charter schools serving over 135,000 students in all five boroughs for the 2020-2021 school year.
