Former high school teacher Nichole Thiel has served in several educational institutions throughout her career, including the University of Idaho. Nicole Thiel also was vice-principal at a top-ranked charter school in Idaho. Charter schools have been facing problems for many years, but despite criticism, they continue to offer the best educational outcomes for some populations of students.
One of the big struggles that charter schools have to deal with is infrastructure. Only about 27 percent of charter schools occupy buildings specifically constructed for them. The majority rent or lease space, which puts them at a disadvantage compared to traditional public schools.
Charter schools also have limited access to state funding compared to public schools. On average, charter schools receive around three-quarters of the finding traditional public schools receive per pupil.
One area where both traditional and charter schools continue to struggle is in providing equitable access to education across student cross-sections. All these problems have received some attention in recent years, but there’s still a long way to go if more charter schools are to open.
