Which grade levels may an open-enrollment charter school offer?
While an open-enrollment charter school may offer instruction in one or more grades between pre-kindergarten and grade 12, certain restrictions apply. Charter schools may only offer instruction in the grades that are approved in its charter. Additionally, by the third year of operation a charter must serve at least one grade in which state assessment tests are administered (i.e., grades 3-11) and in which a minimum of 30 students are enrolled in tested grades.
