Pegasus Charter High School

Size

Pegasus Charter High School is the only school in Pegasus School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, so its 348 students are the district's whole enrollment. The 8 nearest schools are a median 9.4 miles away and have a median of 807 students, so Pegasus Charter High School is smaller than most of them.

NCES lists it as an alternative school: one that serves students whose needs a regular school may not meet, or that offers a non-traditional program alongside regular schools. As a charter school it is publicly funded and charges no tuition, but it is run under a charter rather than directly by a local school board.
