What types of k-12 schools exists?
112259
Aside from the standard public k-12 schools, there are also private and church schools, operated by private organizations independent from state intervention.\n\nThen there are charter schools which are privately operated but funded by the state (requiring them to meet state guidelines) Charter schools usually cater to at-risk students(students in danger of dropping out) or offered as a free alternative to public school when the parents can't afford a private school.\n\nNext there are magnet schools, which are intensified education schools with a strong curriculum in math and science, designed for the extremely gifted and talented students (or parents) that are trying to accelerate their learning.\n\nAnd last there is home school, where the parents teach their children what they should learn in public school.

Yes.\n\nTypes of schools \n\nMaintained schools: They are publicly funded and run by a head teacher with a board of governors. Most schools in UK are maintained schools.\n\nFoundation schools: Similar to maintained schools, but their premises are usually owned by a religious or charitable foundation. The foundation may have influence over the appointment of teachers, governors and other staff, and determine the right of students to attend.\n\nComprehensive schools: State-funded secondary schools that take all children, living locally regardless of talent or ability, and educate them together.\n\nSpecialist schools and City Technology Colleges: are also state-funded. They teach the National Curriculum but emphasize a particular subject, such as Technology or the Arts.\n\nSpecial schools: are different to specialist schools, and teach children with physical, educational or behavioral difficulties. Teaching groups are small, but working in this kind of school can be very challenging.\n\nIndependent schools: charge fees and are privately owned by individuals, companies or trusts\n\nAge ranges in schools \n\nSchool attendance is compulsory from 5 to 16.

Theres no such thing, because each US state (& then there's the US national standards) & each country have their own educational standards. You can't compare worldwide because of economic and cultural differences. Usually there are some very good schools in metro areas, but there's always the downfall of them being huge and overcrowded even though they have an abundance of resources. Suburbs and rural areas are sometimes the place to look. The circumstances vary so much from person to person and school to school, that that's why so many schools exist --- to harbor everyone's needs.

It would be helpful to know what kind of a new school, private, secular, or public charter, or another kind...\n\nThese are in no particular order:\n\n1. Be very thorough in your research.  You will have to 'sell' your school to at least one "Board of Education," any potential sponsors, the community it is in, the parents of prospective students, and the teachers and staff that you will want to hire for the school.  Make sure that when you have to make your case to each of these groups (often through the media) you have answers ready to as many questions as you can.  Also, know where to quickly find answers to questions you don't have immediate answers to.\n\n2. Know why you are starting a new school, and make a list of priorities that will help you fill this need.  Is there a certain type of education or style of learning that this school will cater to, or will this just be a traditional school placed so that students don't have to travel as much to get a basic education?  Does the category of school (charter, private, secular, etc.) require a certain type of school (i.e. charter schools usually require an innovative approach to learning, so you cannot use a 'traditional' school model)?  Thinking through the priorities, especially those that will set this school apart from others, will be crucial to your planning.\n\n3. Do not 'Reinvent the Wheel.'  The variety of schools in this country are incredible, and we are not the only country on this planet.  With a little research, you will find a school that has tried what you want to do.  Or better yet, several.  Even if you do not wish to clone another school, you can learn from its successes, and its failures.  And you will probably learn about something you didn't realize you had to think about.\n\n4. Do not be afraid to be innovative.  This may seem to somewhat contradict the last statement, but each situation is unique, and a new beginning gives you a unique chance to try something nobody else has.  And the innovation does not necessarily have to be in the educational aspect.  Perhaps a new requirement for your school may be to use only energy efficient lighting, or to use only 'green materials' in construction.  Keep in mind that your school will be a business, and will have expenses, need supplies, and have to follow certain regulations.  A little extra planning now may save thousands of dollars or hundreds of man hours over the years, freeing up those resources so that they can be used for the core purpose of the school, education.\n\n5. Consider partnership agreements with other schools and businesses.  Extra-curricular activities can be shared with a neighboring school, or split between several.  Will you have a cafeteria?  If yes, and student nutrition is a high priority, perhaps an agreement with a farm coop for fresh produce, or a farmer's market for a discount on the leftover unsold produce.  If not, an agreement with another school's food service, or even a local restaurant (or several if are small businesses) can help cover your needs. \n\n6.  HIRE A PROFESSIONAL GRANT WRITER.  Grants are free money, and should be a high priority for any school.  The school I helped to found hired a grant writer, and the first grant she obtained for the school was for almost double her annual salary!  Your grant writer doesn't have to be a permanent part of the staff, or even be contracted for a long term, but an experienced professional will know where to find grants for almost any specific circumstance, and will find them much faster than someone who is inexperienced.  And, in the case of grants, time wasted is money lost, grants are first come, first served.\n\n7. Find a professional (non-profit when possible) organization who can give you aid and advice.  Check with similar schools, or your state Department of Education to determine who might be available.  Even if you have to pay a fee to join a co-op or pay for

I think most of the California State University campuses do.  In particular, you should check out San Diego State.  I know several excellent elementary education teachers who did their degrees there.
