Flexibility

As opposed to public district schools, charter schools have less state regulations and therefore more flexibility to operate and innovate.

“We have so much freedom in Arizona to operate, which is why the best charter schools in the country almost all of them have come from Arizona,” Bezanson says.

Charters schools can easily modify to the needs of incoming students as they change. This is not the case for public district schools.

Arizona charter schools have a separate school board, the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools, to deal with problems or complaints. This is especially good for parents who want to express a dissatisfaction or concern.
