DC PCSB approved ASPIRE, our academic accountability system. Read more about it here.

DC PCSB’s Performance Management Framework (or PMF) is used to produce the annual School Quality Report for each public charter school for which it provides oversight. DC PCSB uses the tool to review each school’s academic performance annually. Families can use the individual schools' report to find out how it is performing and use it as a resource when selecting a new school.

The School Reform Act (or SRA) requires DC PCSB to conduct a charter review of each school at least every five years. We evaluate each school to determine whether it is meeting the charter goals and academic achievement expectations, legal compliance, and fiscal management requirements set forth in the charter agreement.
