It says Charlotte area, so west I guess. more coming 2023.

This is in The News Observer but I can't read it all without a subscription. These may be east. Charter schools are located in 66 of the 100 North Carolina counties, according to the state Department of Public Instruction. There are heavy concentrations in some counties, including 33 now open in Mecklenburg County, 26 in Wake County and 16 in Durham.​

The newly approved charter schools are: ▪ Nalanda Academy, which will open in the Morrisville/west Cary area focusing on concepts such as mindfulness. ▪ West Triangle High School, which will open in Orange County but plans to draw from across the Triangle. It’s a replication of Research Triangle High School. ▪

How many of those 44 counties without a charter school have Representatives touting and clamoring over school choice?

It isn't about school choice.

Don't know, but Surry County has at least one charter that I know of. It is 1.5 to 2 miles from Mount Airy High School inside the city. Elkin may have a charter.

Well Elkin enrollment jumped by 100.

It has to be from counting the kids at a charter or EC. Only thing that makes sense.

They have a global virtual academy that started during Covid. They also have a specialized academy that Appalachian State runs on campus. I think that is elementary only though.

There is an EC in Surry but I don't know of those students can play sports. Even so it would be a very small number for Elkin.

LEAs don't count any charter school numbers in their ADMs.
 
Piedmont Charter in Gastonia has been around awhile. They opened a nice new HS building a few years back. I suspect they will add football as a sport at some point.
