Charter Campuses

Charter Map Summary

In 2013, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) relating to charter school growth and the closure of low performing charters. While the bill required the closure of poorly performing charter schools, SB 2 also streamlined the expansion process for charters with high accountability ratings. Since 2013, Texas has added over 230 charter campuses–a 43 percent increase over six years. As of 2020, Texas is now home to 176 charter networks operating over 790 campuses, serving more than 336,000 students.
