Learn about our school accountability system
ASPIRE is DC PCSB’s academic accountability system. It enables us as DC’s only charter authorizer to evaluate and review schools’ performance in service of their mission and students.
ASPIRE Accountability SystemPer the School Reform Act, Charter Schools may not limit enrollment on the basis of a student’s race, color, religion, national origin, language spoken, intellectual or athletic ability, measures of achievement, or status as a student with special needs.
We’ve recently posted an educational video on our YouTube channel, focusing on what the Mystery Caller Protocol is, why we do it, information on what is required of schools, and what parents’ legal rights are during this process.
You can also visit our social media page as we release the video in parts, leading up to the My School DC lottery season.
