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.)

Below you can find QSR reports for all closed DC public charter schools.

These resources support public charter school executive directors, principals, teachers, support staff, and board members in learning more about our accountability measures, compliance reporting, and much more.  

When a parent/guardian or community member has a complaint against a school, it is essential that they first contact the individual charter school leader/principal and, if necessary, the school’s Board of Trustees, to address their concerns directly through the school’s established grievance process. Should the issue remain unresolved or inadequately addressed, the complainant can then reach out to DC PCSB. Our primary goal upon receiving such a complaint is to ensure that the school has (a) followed its own complaint process to address the person’s grievance, (b) remained in compliance with its charter agreement, and (c) not violated any applicable laws.

The Public Information Policy details the standard by which DC PCSB improves the accessibility of information available to DC public charter school families and other stakeholders by requiring that public charter schools post specific public information on the school’s website.
