LIVING IN WEBER COUNTY
CHARTER & PRIVATE SCHOOLS In Utah, charter schools are tuition-free and open to any Utah student. They are publicly funded and accountable to the Utah State Board of Education. Charter schools serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade, but not all grades are offered at all charter schools. Enrollment is capped at a certain number at each school; if too many students apply for admission, the school holds a lottery to determine
which students will be admitted. Some charter schools place an emphasis on a specific subject matter area (such as science) or on a certain instructional methodology. There are charter schools operating in several Weber County cities. There are also private schools available in the area, both religious and secular in nature, that offer instruction for students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade.
