The Varnett Public School is a state charter school network headquartered in the Varnett School Southwest Campus in Houston, Texas. The system has four campuses with more than 1,600 students. The school was founded as a private school in 1984 and became a public charter school in 1998. In 2015 Ericka Mellon of the Houston Chronicle wrote that the school system "was a standout among schools serving mostly poor, minority children." That year the founders of the school were indicted by federal prosecutors, accused of embezzling $2.6 million of school funds. They pleaded guilty, and sentenced to prison in 2018.
