More Black and Hispanic Students Attending Charter School

A new report by the National Alliance For Public Charter Schools (NAPCS) finds that Black and Hispanic students are the fastest-growing population of students attending charter schools.

NAPCS says these two groups make up more than half of the new enrollment of over 300,000 students since 2019.

“It’s simple: parents are seeking better options for their kids,” says NAPCS.

Debbie Veney, the senior VP of communications with NAPCS, helped co-author of the report. Veney says Hispanic and Black families are massive consumers of charter schools.
