WHY CHOOSE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

180 Programs - Unique Pathways

Traditional public schools offer the best opportunities for all students. There’s no comparison when it comes to the range of academic programs, extracurricular activities, and specialty pathways. From Pre-K through high school, students will find the academic and social-emotional support they need to thrive.

College Readiness

College acceptance rates in traditional public schools are hands down the best. 

For comparison, charter schools enroll approximately 6% of all students but account for only 3% of college enrollees. School districts enroll 94% of all students and account for 97% of college enrollees.

Public Schools are the Backbone of a Community

Athletics, fine arts, science fairs, school cafeterias, and PTA meetings are a few of the reasons a community comes together.  Local businesses like restaurants and florists often thrive and then financially contribute to their local schools. Friendships and family connections start in public schools.
