🎉 NJ HAS SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE DURING NATIONAL SCHOOL CHOICE WEEK 🎉 ‼️2025 State Assessments show urban charter schools continue to close achievement gaps and outperform the state, even surpassing pre-pandemic reading levels. Charter students are 50% more likely to read at grade level: njcharters.org/wp-content/up… 🏫 86 charter schools statewide 👩‍🎓 Over 63K students served ⏳ 32K students on waitlists As National School Choice Week wraps up, we celebrate every K–12 option that gives families real opportunity, including traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online learning, and homeschooling. Parents know their children best, and families deserve the freedom to choose what works. After 18 years working in New Jersey public charter schools as an advocate, teacher, principal, and district administrator, I know firsthand that public charters are an outstanding option for NJ students. 📚 NJ charter schools are tuition-free public schools that are open to all students, no matter zip code, race, language, or ability. ❌ No entrance exams 🌎 Serve English language learners 🧩 Serve students with special needs 🎟️ Students are admitted through a public lottery 🏛️ Overseen by the New Jersey Department of Education Families choose charter schools because they work. They give parents more options and give students additional pathways to succeed. #ChartersChangeLives #NSCW #NJPCSA #NJCharters #BergenCharter #PassaicCharter #PatersonCharter #HudsonCharter
