Charter school

In 2003, Granada Hills Charter High School in Los Angeles became the largest charter school in the United States.[1]

A charter school is a school that receives government funding but operates independently of the established state school system in which it is located.[2][3] It is independent in the sense that it operates according to the basic principle of autonomy for accountability, that it is freed from the rules but accountable for results.[4]
