Bullis Charter School

Incredible school and while some folks don't fit with the model of innovation with intensive instruction in core subjects, arts, fitness, social-emotional learning, leadership, self advocacy, critical thinking, project based learning and much more.  The public charter school confronts the traditional public school establishment and you'll find folks in that model attacking - but this school shows the future path of public education.  Thankfully there is a tremendous community supporting this group - brave enough to stand up against the current of mediocrity.

Parents should research the background behind this school thoroughly before sending their children there. Find out why MANY parents have pulled their children out after only one year.

It only has great test scores because it starts in the best school district in the State and then (illegally, many think) disallow/discourage less advantaged kids from going there.

The school has continually sued the local school district and its supporters vow to keep suing.  Many view this behavior as predatory, and many, many people deeply dislike this school and what it stands for.

At minimum, you should know that the school is HIGHLY controversial. You should know that they charge what most consider a "tuition" of $5000/year per student. You should know that many, many parents in our community want this school to shut down because they want to shut down our public schools.

You should know that you have absolutely OUTSTANDING examples of the best public schools in the State right next to this school and they have no baggage and no tuition.

Google the school's name and go through the results carefully. There is a TON of information on the Internet about them now. You will be appalled that such a thing could happen in our town.
