In planning and performing our audits of the financial

Markets Equity ETF, Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF,
Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap
Growth ETF, Schwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF, Schwab
U.S. Mid-Cap ETF, Schwab U.S. Small-Cap ETF, Schwab
U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, and Schwab 1000 Index ETF (the
"Funds"), as of and for the year ended August 31, 2020, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we
considered the Funds' internal control over financial reporting,
including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for
designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to
comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion.

The management of the Funds is responsible for establishing
and maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. A fund's internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A fund's internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the fund; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of
the fund are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and trustees of the trust; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of a
fund's assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists
when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the Funds' annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected
on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies
in internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no
deficiencies in the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be a material weakness, as
defined above, as of August 31, 2020.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and Board of Trustees of Schwab Strategic Trust
and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
