Decide between a brick-and-mortar charter school and a cyber charter school. There is a difference in who approves these schools. The local school district approves the brick-and-mortar schools, while the Pennsylvania Department of Education approves the cyber charter schools.
Do some research. Find out the charter school's academic progress and graduation rate. Make sure the teachers are certified, and ask if the teachers like their job. If they are ecstatic about their job, as they often are, you have struck gold.
