If you wish to pick a nit, you can call it private, but do remember, with any public school, there are boundary limits.....kids from one city cannot attend public school in another city. Charter schools

Maybe if this discussion is to continue, we should start another thread since we are now discussion something totally unrelated to the original question.

Indeed...........some of the best schools in the country are public schools! :-)

You are correct paulandjean. Kids can and do attend schools between not only cities but also school boundaries. As a retired teacher also, we had many children attend our school from different towns, cities, school districts, etc.

I asked one of the surveyers this morning and he said it was a school for 4th and 5th graders. The workers are working 12 hour days and are working at least on Saturday. I did not ask about Sunday.

An announcement about the charter school expansions (yes, plural) is at the school's website, The Villages Charter Schools - Central Office -- announcement near the top and a link to a map at the bottom.
