What is Charter School? 这个概念很复杂,给你一个连接可以看看:
http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/pbriefs/93/93-2what.htm
Charter schools create an alternative form of public schooling. The goal of charter schools is to lift restraints from public schools so they can pursue innovative teaching methods that will improve student performance. They are designed to give significant autonomy to individual schools and, in turn, to hold those schools accountable for results. A charter is essentially a contract, negotiated between those people starting the school and the official body authorized to approve the charter. The charter spells out how the school will be run, what will be taught, how success will be measured and what students will achieve. As long as the school meets the terms of its charter, it is free from many of the rules and regulations that apply to other public schools. And unlike other public schools, If the school fails to meet those terms, the charter can be revoked and the school closes

实话说,我也不太了解。
从概念上说charter school 教师有创新的教学方法,学生成绩也要好一些,因为是办学人和政府教育机构是种合同关系,学校相对比较独立,自决权比较大。学校如果达不到合同规定的教学要求,学校就会被解散。
另一点要清楚的是charter school 属于公立学校,不是那种天才班什么的,所有学生都有同等的受教育待遇,学生评判主要是根据他们对多课目知识的掌握程度,而不是像其他学校那样学习努力程度不旷课和其他表现也作为成绩的一部分。
所以,与其他学校比,很难说好与不好,也取决于对所培养学生的要求。

补充一些:
这类学校每一所都有一个特点,目前卡城主要有四个:
1,Westmount Charter School
也就是原来的ABC Charter School ,注重天才教育,小孩进去有一定的要求,要考试,录取按成绩的排名来,刚来的移民是进不去的,因为语言过不了关。没有ESL。目前是Charter School中成绩最好的。
2,FFCA
是目前规模最大的,以注重基础教育为主,我们星星索学校有两个FFCA的学生,每天有作业,对英语方面的学习远非普通公立学校可以比的,基本功很扎实。进校也要排队,要考试,成绩低于普通水平的也不能进。成绩排在Charter School中第二.

3,SCIENCE Charter School
注重理工科,只招收四年级以上的学生,没有参加全省的排名.

4,Almadina Charter School
注重语言的多元化,各种肤色的教师和学生.四年以前不需要考试,现在不知道.

几乎所有的Charter School 我都去过,也和校长谈过.我的孩子几乎每年都参加一些学校的考试,所以知道他们的程度.

Charter School是我们省的骄傲,因为只有我们省是公立的,对于注重孩子基础教育的来说不失为一种好的选择.但并不适合所有的学生.必须穿校服,绝大部分得坐校车,花费比普通学校高.业余时间少.
