Sending kid to charter school outside neighborhood boundaries

Is it legally possible and happening that parents send their kids to a charter school outside their neighbourhood boundaries (not assigned to your locality according to your home address)? Does anyone have a first-hand experience? Please share. How difficult is the lottery process if any?

Clearly you don’t know how charter schools work. Also you can’t spell.

Hi, I work in a network of district and charter schools and this absolutely happens. Here in my town we have a language charter and a science charter where parents select from suburban districts, so much that the science school is considered metropolitan. The lottery is a lottery. Enter name and odds include how many spots there are open. Different grades however have different enrollment opportunities. A kindergarten class may be difficult and part of a lottery, but in first grade there may not even be a waiting list. I suggest calling a parent or school-parent rep and asking questions. Good luck.

Even if the charter schools are not those magnet schools? Can charter be magnet schools too or only district schools can be magnet schools.

Ok. Good info. Also what I wanted to know is that do charter schools fill the seats with the neighborhood applications or it’s a same lottery pool?

As far as I know it would be lottery, but there may be different rules based upon individual charters.
