public school academy
مدرسة مستقلة عامة


Explanation:
I assume you mean Public School Academy (PSA) in the United States also known as charter schools.

The concept of charter schools, a school funded by the state but operated privately/independently, does not exist in many countries. So I think it might be necessary to explain the term when it’s used for the first time either in a footnote or in brackets within the text.

I’m not sure who your target audience is but I would be mindful of what existing types of schools are called in Arabic speaking countries. Many Arabic speaking countries have two types of schools under their education systems: state schools (مدرسة حكومية أو مدرسة عامة) and private schools (مدرسة خاصة أو مدرسة أهلية).
I originally wanted to use مدرسة أهلية عامة but since أهلية is used for private schools (with tuition fees) in some countries I think it would confuse some readers.

I opted for مستقلة to indicate that the school operates independently from the state school system and عامة because students don’t pay tuition fees and the school is open for all students.
For an alternative translation, you could go with a little more literal translation of “charter school”: مدرسة ميثاق عامة.

Good luck.

يعمل هذا النوع من المدراس بحرية فيما يتعلق بالعديد من اللوائح التي تنطبق على المدارس العامة التقليدية في الولايات . تتم رعاية هذه المدارس من قبل مؤسسة محلية أو حكومة الولاية أو منظمة تعليمية أخرى تشرف على جودتها ونزاهتها ، وفي الوقت نفسه تكون المدرسة مسؤولة عن النتائج الأكاديمية والممارسات المالية.


public school academies receive money from the government in exchange for favorable academic results (keeping the school between grades A and B) among other requirements, but they are privately owned. They are subsidized with government funds and must comply with certain statutes that vary according to the state or national government. They are considered autonomous but not independent since independent school is a term used to define a private school (in the United States).
