Public Schools - receive state and federal funding and don't charge tuition. Teachers must be credentialed by the state. Many Bay Area districts have "neighborhood schools" attended by children who live nearby. But some, like SF Unified, allow parents to apply to any school, and even those with attendance boundaries may allow transfers from within and outside the district. |
Private Schools - charge tuition and grant admission on a selective basis. Many do not use the same standardized tests required in public schools and used as a basis for comparison. | |
| Charter Schools - are publicly funded but are freed from some local and state regulations. While independently run, they must follow agreements with the agency granting the charter, usually the local school district. Many offer specialized programs. | Religious or parochial Schools - tend to charge less than private schools, and many admit students of different faiths, though religion generally is part of the curriculum. Scholarships may be available. | |
|
Magnet Schools - are also public but tend to have a specific focus, such as science or the arts. Any student within a district may apply. |
