Charter schools can be cheaper to run than public schools, but the way they do so shows why they are not a solution for society.

This chain skims the cream by not dealing with the students that need special help. That apparently includes the increasing fraction of students whose families are food-insecure, because these charter schools have no cafeteria to give them meals with. With no sports, they appear to lead students to be obese couch potatoes. The absence of an auditorium rules out many kinds of programs.

Hell, it's easy to cut costs by doing only part of the job.
