Charter Schools vs Public Schools

By -
Every parent wants quality education for their children, but the cost of private school is too expensive for most. Parents are offered tuition-free public schools for their children to enroll in, but the quality of education isn’t always top-notch depending on the school the child attends. According to www.greatschools.org, you can determine by the Great Schools rating, which school students are excelling in academically; the schools are graded with a 1 (being the worst performing schools) up to 10 (being the best performing schools). The ratings are calculated based on city and statewide test scores, which demonstrates that the students are either receiving excellent instructions and knowledge, or very poor instructions.

How Traditional Public Schools Work

Public school teachers tend to teach every child in one set way and at the same speed, which can be the cause of poor performance at many schools because every child does not learn the same way or at the same speed. Some students can understand and learn a particular subject a lot faster than another student in the same class; while that’s common, it’s also the downfall for the slower learning student and the overall performance for that school based on the combined test scores of all students. Public school staff would need to cater to every individual students’ needs in order to guarantee success for all students; unfortunately, that is not the case.

How Charter Schools Differ

Fortunately, parents have the option to choose any one of the top charter schools in Vineyard, UT, to enroll their children in. Charter schools are independently-operated alternatives to traditional public schools and are also tuition-free. The teachers and staff at charter schools are free to provide individual attention to each student; this means that there’s no pre-determined approach to teaching all students. Every student will learn the same material in a way that works for the child. Additionally, studies have shown that in the past 10 years, there was a 15% increase in passing (or better) test scores of students who attended a charter school.

Consider This


If you’re a parent who feels that traditional public schools are not offering your child a quality education, and private school is out of your budget, then you may want to consider searching for a good charter school in your area. Charter schools are public schools, so you will never be charged, and the enrollment process is the same as traditional public schools; if there’s an open spot at the charter school of your choice, and you submit the paperwork in a timely manner, your child will not be denied acceptance.

New Year, New Writing Skills!

With a new year comes a new engage block and, for literacy students, lots of new writing skills. All literacy classes this block will be learning and refining the fine art of informational writing. While the the term "informational text" may sound boring, writing with the intent to teach or inform is empowering for many people. During these classes, students will not only be learning the writing skills of the genre, they will have the opportunity to be "experts" in the topics most important to them; I fully expect to be well versed in all things Minecraft by the time this block is done! Check out the rest of the post to get some more details about what each grade group will be focusing on this block. 1/2 Informational Writing 1 For many of the 1st and 2nd grade students, this will be the second time they have focused on the writing skills in literacy, a...
