Tuesday, December 16 2008

Here we have a report from U.S. News and World Report that Evansville’s Signature school is ranked 68^th as best high schools in the US. This is quite a respectable award for the Signature School and we wish them continued success.

Charter schools are public schools that have been released from some of the regulations governing other public schools as long as they succeed in meeting the criteria agreed upon in their original charter. Charter schools tend to have limited enrollment and usually accept students through an application process. The following are the nation’s top charter schools, according to the America’s Best High Schools analysis.
