Description of Indicator
This indicator shows charter school enrollment throughout the region. Data are sourced from the Future Ready PA Index.
Why is it important?
This indicator is important because it shows the number of students in a district who are obtaining their education outside the traditional public school system. Most charter schools do not offer complete K-12 learning so students must eventually transition to a cyber, public, or private institution.
How is the region performing?
Overall charter school enrollment increased in Luzerne County between the 2022-2023 school year and the 2023-2024 school year. During the same period, Wayne and Lackawanna Counties saw slight decreases in enrollment.
