Charter or Public?
Our district-wide charter is unique. We are a publicly funded and publicly run school district operating under a charter of educational authority from the California State Board of Education. Charter schools are held to different standards than traditional public schools which allows them to specialize, teach with different methods, and sometimes avoid the strict rules that public schools must follow.
Charter schools have increased flexibility in return for higher accountability.
Charter schools are specifically designed to turn students into scholars, make them ready for the real world, and give them the confidence needed to move on to the future. Hickman Community Charter District takes these goals and turns them into a mission statement ensuring each student achieves maximum academic success, skills to master every level in education, valuable knowledge, and students learn diversely.
