Public Schools

Public schools are educational institutions funded and operated by government entities, primarily at the local and state levels. They are designed to provide free education to children, ensuring access for all, regardless of socioeconomic status. Public schools typically follow a standardized curriculum set by educational authorities and may include grades from kindergarten through high school. They aim to promote academic, social, and emotional development, preparing students for higher education and careers. Public funding comes from local property taxes and state funding, making them accountable to the communities they serve.
