Public Charter Schools Reviews and Renewals for School Year 2025-26

April 15, 2026

Each year, DC PCSB conducts charter reviews to ensure schools are meeting the high standards our students and families deserve. These reviews, required under the School Reform Act, provide a comprehensive look at academic performance, legal compliance, and financial health to determine whether a school’s charter should be continued, continued with conditions, or revoked. If a school is in its 15th year of operation, the school will be either renewed or not renewed. Learn the difference between a review HERE and a renewal HERE.

This year’s evaluation cycle continues this important work to hold schools accountable and support strong outcomes for students across the District.
