Louisiana Charter School Question & Discussion

There is a charter school in my area. Today I was talking about it with some people who are involved in the school system and I learned that this particular charter school is a F graded school (or whatever it is) and the school gets $3 Million a year from the parish school board budget, which comes out to be almost $10k a student whereas the public schools get about $4k a student.
Are the charter schools in New Orleans different from some of these other charter schools in other parishes that just popped up (this particular school, I think, is in its 2nd year). There are commercials for this charter school, which is what sparked the conversation, but I am just curious how this works. Are they privately owned?

Charter schools are making some people a lot of money, especially in New Orleans. "Non-profit", of course but they're engaging in shady contracts, stealing property from the state, and paying some nice 6-figure salaries to people in politically connected families.

Public education in Louisiana is a abject failure based on every single metric. On top of that, school systems have large budgets, which means excessive amounts of system-wide waste, at best, and fraud at worst.
Charters can't possibly be worse than regular schools/school systems, and at least the financial failure of one charter doesn't impact other charters.
Anyone who lives in Louisiana and thinks traditional schools are the "best" or "proper" choice are fricking retards. My .02.
