The school operates independently of the local school district under a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education.

There were 223 students (58.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 28 (7.4% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. History
The school opened in 1999 under a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education. The Somers Point Planning Board approved a proposal in April 2010 that had been submitted by the school under which the school would spend $4 million to construct additional classrooms and a gymnasium to be completed before the conclusion of the 2011–12 school year that would allow Chartertech to accommodate as many as 400 students. Although being a performing arts high school, it took over 24 years to build a proper stage. Awards, recognition and rankings
