It’s Charter Schools Day at the Capitol. 100s of students & parents will gather to ask for lawmakers’ support on common sense facility finance reform. SB 498 and HB 1253 establish a revolving loan fund to help charter schools spend MORE money on kids & LESS on buildings. Read more about it here:! Georgia’s charter schools need access to affordable facilities https://t.co/8zU8xz0rqi

Earlier this week, @georgiadeptofed released the 2025 high school graduation rate data. Here are some compelling highlights:

27% of charter high schools had a grad rate of 100% (vs 4% of non-charter high schools).

68% of charter high schools achieved a grad rate at/above 95% (vs 27% of non-charter high schools).

Sounds like GA needs more charter high schools!! @GACharters @SCSCGa

Georgia’s first healthcare-focused STEMM charter school is on the way! @SCSCGa has approved The Academy for Innovation in Medicine (AIM) to open in 2026–27, helping address the state’s urgent health care workforce shortage.
