This year, a record number of families chose public charter schools, where students get a dynamic education built for real-world success. Nearly 4 million students are now enrolled, and that number grows each year.
This increase in demand is no surprise: charter schools get results. Students at charter schools gain extra days of learning in reading and math; and charter attendance has been linked to higher rates of college degree completion and higher earnings potential.
What started with a handful of states and a bold vision has become a national movement. An overwhelming majority of parents – 77% – want more charter school options in their area. Support for charters is strong across backgrounds, neighborhoods, and political affiliations.
The Charter Schools Action PAC helps ensure that every student who wants to attend a high-quality charter school can do so. To get there, we raise and spend money to elect and support charter champions in Congress.
