Best Charter School Marketing Agencies in 2026: 7 Agencies Compared

1. Who is included. Agencies that say on their own website that they market to charter schools, and that publish a charter school page, charter client, or charter result. Software companies are not included, because this page compares agencies.
2. Where the facts come from. Each agency's own website only. We read the homepage, services pages, charter school pages, and case study or results pages. We did not use reviews, directories, or press releases.
3. How claims are written. Every claim is attributed: the agency "says" or "reports." We quote figures exactly as published. We do not add adjectives. Where the table says "Not found," it means we did not find it on the pages we read. It is not a claim that the agency lacks it, because a page we did not read may cover it.
4. What is left out. Pricing (no agency on this page publishes it, Taylor Wiz included), and any ranking or score.
5. When it was checked. October 15, 2026. We recheck every agency before each update and show the date at the top of each entry.
6. Corrections. Any agency listed can send a correction through our contact page. We publish corrections under our editorial policy.

Checked October 15, 2026. Source: taylorwiz.com

2. What it offers: Paid advertising on Meta (Facebook and Instagram), creative and video, enrollment websites, and parent outreach. Taylor Wiz does not run Google Ads, TV, radio, or print.
3. Results it publishes: Parent inquiries, submitted applications, and ad spend per submitted application. In the Charter Enrollment Marketing Benchmark, October 2025 to September 2026, a submitted application cost $113 in Meta ad spend. Across the 4 named case study schools, from 2023 to October 2026, 2,214 submitted applications represent $25,752,975 in one year of public funding. That is what the schools would receive in one year if every applicant enrolled. Not every applicant enrolls, so it is the size of the opportunity, not money received. Named case studies include Memphis Merit Academy (413 submitted applications at $41 each) and Forte Prep Academy (577 families reached out, 259 submitted applications at $92 each). See Results and the Charter Enrollment Marketing Benchmark.

5. Where it may not fit: If you want Google search ads, TV, radio, print, staffing campaigns, or financing, another agency on this page offers them.
