CHARTER
Heights areas. Zeta opened its doors
in the fall of 2018.
Charter schools may not have all
the regulations of a districted school,
but they are accountable for academic
results and upholding promises that
the charter school stemmed from. With
well over 200 charter schools in the city,
there are tens of thousands of New York
City families that are served by these
institutions, and these schools have
thousands more on their waitlists.
So, why are so many families choosing
charter schools? Charter schools
have more flexibility in their offerings,
a longer school year, extended daily
hours, and additional programming.
“Much of my experience is in charter
education, and I love how charters are
free to innovate and raise the excellence
bar for children,” Kim says.
Although every charter is different
(the model, goals, and policies may
vary) — overall, they are outperforming
their neighborhood counterparts
on state tests (English language arts
and math).
“Parents deserve to have a highquality
school option, as well as a choice
as to where they send their children to
school. Charters provide parents with
much-needed educational options for
their children, which raises the bar for
public education, generally,” Kim says.
The mission of the Mott Hall Charter School is to prepare our scholars
in mind, body, and character to succeed in top high schools, colleges,
and careers by becoming inquisitive, open-minded, and compassionate
citizens of the world.

RISE TO THE CHALLENGE!
“We serve families and want them to
be close partners with us in their children’s
education. Through this partnership,
we ensure that children meet their
highest and best potential.”
Many families are drawn by the
opportunity to send their children to
high-performing charter schools. Most
operate through a lottery placement
system due to the demand.
“We were zoned for a failing public
school (math and reading scores were
in the single-digit percentile), and private
school is too costly,” says Tiffany
G., who is a parent at Harlem Hebrew
Language Academy Charter School.
Her daughter, now in fourth grade,
started at the school in kindergarten.
“Public schools in New York are wonderful
if you are wealthy and thereby
able to afford an affluent neighborhood
where high-quality public schools can
be found. For many who are not wealthy
or able to afford expensive neighborhoods,
public schools are poor performing,
sometimes perilous places. The
current public school system exacerbates
our city’s economic system of
have and have-nots, while many charter
schools offer a high-quality education
accessible to all New Yorkers regardless
of income,” she says. Adding: “There is
a tremendous amount of variety among
charter schools, as they are not bound
by all the same regulations as public
schools. Shop around to find the school
that is the best fit for your child’s learning
needs.”
