The 2024–25 federal data lists 5,290 open public charter schools offering at least one grade from K–5, in 47 states and territories. A school that serves several grade levels is counted on each matching page.

Charter schools are public schools, so they do not charge tuition for public K–12 grades. Some schools may charge fees for items such as uniforms, activities, or before- and after-school care, so confirm costs with each school.

270 of these schools report a virtual format, either fully virtual or virtual with in-person options. Virtual charter schools usually enroll students who live in the same state, so check eligibility with the school.

No. This directory does not rank schools or accept paid placement. Compare the reported facts, then confirm programs, admissions, and current performance information directly with each school.
