US Charter Schools
U.S. · 8,234 locations

There are 8,234 Charter Schools in the US as of October 2026. They are in 46 states and territories. California has the most, with 1,289.

All 8,234 US charter schools from the federal Common Core of Data for the 2024-25 school year, with street address, coordinates, enrollment, grade range, teacher count and district, and 97% fill on the qualifying fields.

More about this list

Charter schools buy differently from district schools: they are individually or network-operated rather than centrally procured, decisions sit with the school or a small management organization, and they turn over faster, opening and closing at a rate no district does. That makes a current, address-level list the practical basis for selling curriculum, furniture, technology, food service, facilities and student information systems. Enrollment is the qualifying field most buyers sort on, and it is present on nearly every record.

How we build and date every file: methodology.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?

No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the US Charter Schools and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=charter-school-list with the filters you need and show you the count and price.

Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.

How assistants ask

No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.

If a question needs filtering, distance, drive time, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.

Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>

Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&drive=<minutes>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>

Leave out what the question does not need. Use radius for straight-line miles or drive for minutes of driving (5 to 60), not both; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.

Links an assistant can open, each showing how many rows match, a few preview rows and the price for just that part:

Optional: connect for repeat use or wallet payments:

Read https://locationlists.com/skill.md and follow the instructions to connect LocationLists. Then show me the US Charter Schools list.

Your assistant will walk you through setup and show you the price before you pay.

For developers

Every step below has a no-connector equivalent: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=charter-school-list with the same filters as query parameters.

  1. Connect your agent to https://locationlists.com/mcp (no key, no signup).
  2. Call count_locations with dataset: "charter-school-list" and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost.
  3. Fetch the rows with query_locations: $0.96 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 4,117 rows, buying the whole file is cheaper.

Paid in USDC over x402 — the agent gets an HTTP 402 with the exact price, signs, and retries. Money moves only after rows are delivered, so a failed or empty query costs nothing. Setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code

?Frequently Asked Questions

How many Charter Schools are there in the US?

There are 8,234 Charter Schools in the US as of October 2026. They are in 46 states and territories. California has the most, with 1,289.

How current is this?

File built on October 7, 2026. It is not on an automatic refresh schedule, so check the build date above before you buy.

Is this a register or a survey?

The Common Core of Data is a federal administrative collection covering all public schools, which makes it effectively complete for charters rather than a sample. That is different from our private school dataset, which comes from a survey.

Does it include the management organizations?

It carries the district and agency each charter reports under, which identifies network-run schools in most cases. A clean charter-management-organization rollup is a custom enrichment we can quote.
