Overview
As of April 23, 2024, S&P Global Ratings maintains six public ratings on North Carolina charter schools. North Carolina began allowing charter schools to operate after passing the Charter Schools Act of 1996. As of the 2023-2024 school year, North Carolina is home to 211 charter schools serving approximately 145,000 students, representing around 9% of all public school students in the state.
Although our six rated North Carolina charter schools represent a small sample size, we believe growing charter school enrollment, compared with that of traditional district schools, reflects increasing demand for charter school options in the state.
