“The past few years have generated intense public education debates throughout our city and the state on what public education options should be available to families and students. Why is another quality public education option for our families a bad thing?
Politics aside, new academic opportunities that reflect our community are something we can all embrace. The one thing we as educators hear over and over again is that parents want to enroll their children at local, high-quality public schools that are good fits for their kids. RVLA is here to help answer that call.”

Did you know that charter public schools are free and open to all?
Parents choose charter public schools & no one is assigned to public charter schools. Schools are not allowed to hand-pick or discriminate against students for any reason. If a school does not have room for all of the students who want to attend, students are admitted by a random, public lottery.
