Chatham Charter

Located at 2200 Hamp Stone Road in Siler City, North Carolina, Chatham Charter operates as an active, independent public charter district serving families along the rural fringe of the greater Durham-Chapel Hill metropolitan area. Operating as a streamlined single-school system, the district provides an uninterrupted educational pathway spanning from kindergarten through 12th grade. The student body currently encompasses 591 enrolled pupils, comprising 318 female and 273 male students, with balanced class cohorts maintaining steady progression from early primary instruction through high school graduation.

Chatham Charter’s instructional environment is supported by a robust professional workforce totaling just over 90 full-time equivalent staff members. This includes a substantial core teaching faculty of over 84 full-time equivalent educators alongside dedicated support staff, ensuring a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio and individualized academic attention. The student population brings diverse backgrounds to the learning community, including 445 White, 57 Black, 43 multiracial, 40 Hispanic, and 6 Asian students. For prospective families, students, and education researchers alike, Chatham Charter presents a close-knit, highly staffed K–12 public charter model tailored to the unique needs of a growing rural-metropolitan edge community.
