Utah Charter School

The goal of charter schools is to provide additional educational options with quality outcomes for students and parents. Charter schools are public schools open to all students. They operate on public funds without tuition. They also vary widely across the United States.

The 2014 Charter School Report is a resource to inform Utah’s Legislature, the Utah State Board of Education, and the public concerning charter school performance data, including student enrollment and engagement, school demographics, academics, finances, and governance.

The Utah Charter Schools Frequently Asked Questions describes some of the unique qualities of charter schools in Utah. For comprehensive information on charter schools nationally, including technical assistance and research, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools website is a good place to begin.
