What Is a Charter School?
A charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a performance agreement with the local school district. Lincoln-Martí charter schools are:
- Free to attend — tuition-free and open to any Florida student
- Publicly funded — through the Florida Department of Education per-student allocation
- Independently operated — with curriculum and staffing flexibility beyond traditional public schools
- Accountable — charter renewal depends on academic performance and financial health
