 What makes New York’s charter schools different from traditional public schools? These publicly funded schools have greater flexibility in how they operate but must still meet strict state performance standards and are open to students through non-discriminatory lotteries. With more than 350 active schools statewide, families are encouraged to review official state data when comparing academic results and available student services.
