Today, the city released the School Equity Reports (link is external) for the fourth year in a row. The reports provide unprecedented levels of information on how well each public and public charter school in the District responds to the diverse needs of the students they educate. By providing apples-to-apples comparisons of schools and presenting the results in a format that is easy to understand, the reports signal potential problems, help schools focus on areas that need to improve, and guide parents as they make decisions about their child’s education.
WASHINGTON, DC – A new citywide report shows public charter school quality continuing to rise. The report, released by the DC Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB), is a comprehensive look at education for public charter schools throughout the District of Columbia serving grades prekindergarten (PK) to 12 and adult programs. The results show students living in every Ward of the city are benefitting from attending top-performing “Tier 1” public charter schools.
Today’s release covers schools serving grades PK through eighth grade. DC PCSB will release results for high school and adult public charter schools in early November.

JUST LAST month, Akilah Johnson was “surprised and overwhelmed” when she learned that she was a national finalist in the “Doodle 4 Google” contest for elementary through high school students.

Akilah is the contest’s first winner from Washington, as D.C. was not eligible to enter the states-only competition in past years.
