The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) uses its School Transparency and Reporting (STAR) Framework to identify schools in need of improvement, as required by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), and DC’s ESSA State Plan.  

DC’s ESSA State Plan organizes designees into three groups and articulates a timeline for identifying designees, as reported in the table below.
