No. The Texas Girls School is tuition-free. As a public charter school, it is funded through public education dollars and is open to eligible students at no cost.

Public charter schools are not selective. There are no entrance exams or academic prerequisites. If more students apply than there are seats available, the school may use a lottery to ensure a fair process.

Yes. Families are encouraged to apply even after the open enrollment deadline. Seats may become available throughout the spring and summer, and waitlist offers are made as space opens.

Families who receive an offer will be guided through the registration process. Required documents typically include proof of age, proof of residency, and academic records. Our team will provide clear instructions and support every step of the way.

Yes. Transfer seats may be available on a rolling basis, depending on enrollment and grade-level availability. Families interested in transferring are encouraged to apply and connect with our admissions team.

Charter schools are held to state academic and financial standards and are overseen by the Texas Education Agency. They must meet performance expectations, and the state can intervene if standards aren’t met.
