Most of the nearly 4,200 public schools in Florida are operated by one of the state’s 69 school districts. Charter schools account for 690 of the state’s public schools, which operate with more autonomy than district schools. Charter schools operate under a contract with an authorizer, either a school district; state universities, which may grant charters to lab schools; or the Tallahassee Community College (TCC) — the state’s first college charter school authorizer (2022).

“I graduated from the City of Hialeah Educational Academy in 2018 and am now a teacher here. I’ve experienced charter schools as a student and a teacher and have seen how innovative charter schools are and how they’ve changed the way that students and parents view education. They have made an impact in many communities.”
