Reply to comment by Irreverent_Pi in ELI5 what is the benefit of a charter school vs regular public schools? How do they differ? by [deleted]

>and their parents seek out an alternative

That's the important part. Charter schools ONLY get kids whos parents care about their kids education. That means that you're not getting an average student.

I don't think this is entirely true. I have seen just as many parents wake up to realize their kid is in 4th grade and has the reading level of a lima bean and then they say "the school has failed my child!" Whereupon they shuttle their kid over to the charter school and continue to not be present or proactive in their child's education and, unsurprisingly, they end up with the same results.
