Annual reports provide insight into each public charter school’s academic offerings, parent engagement efforts, student outcomes, and relevant data, and more. Created for a variety of stakeholders, these annual reports give public charter schools the opportunity to elaborate on the merits of their programs. Every public charter school Local Education Agency (or LEA) is required to create and submit an annual report to the DC Public Charter School Board annually. View current and past reports below.
For parents,the attendance and discipline performance of their child's school is important. Each day, we collaborate with our public charter schools to incorporate common-sense policies aimed at increasing attendance and improving discipline across the school districts. Transparency is our most important tool: We share information among schools to encourage better performance, and, in turn, we provide more information to parents and students.
The purpose of the Qualitative Site Review (QSR) is to provide DC Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB), public charter school leaders, and other community members with qualitative evidence to complement the quantitative evidence gathered in the accountability framework and charter goal attainment to determine charter continuance at reviews. (The School Reform Act requires DC PCSB to conduct a charter review of each school at least every five years.)
Each year, DC PCSB assesses the finances and operations of DC public charter schools. These reviews evaluate how well schools manage their finances. High-performing schools ensure they have sufficient funds for the year and contingencies. For low-rated schools, the School Finance Team collaborates with leadership to discuss ways that ensure solvency. Additionally, detailed financial information, including budgets, fiscal audits, and 990s, is published for each school.
