A charter school is a school that receives government funding but operates independently of the established state school system in which it is located. It is independent in the sense that it operates according to the basic principle of autonomy for accountability, that it is freed from the rules but accountable for results.
In 2003, Granada Hills Charter High School in Los Angeles became the largest charter school in the United States.
