Charter schools are preparing the workforce of the future.
Houston public charter schools have the flexibility to innovate. They give students the instruction and hands-on experience they need today to be successful in the 21st century economy tomorrow. Public charter school students graduate college at higher rates than their peers and are more likely to be prepared for careers or the military.
The Numbers
